Powder Quality
Control:
- direct in-line quality
control of powder after mixing and before pressing. If tested
parameters are out of predetermined limits, the powder is remixed or rejected.
- control of a lubricant
content in a powder mixture
- control of a binder
content in a powder mixture |
Development & Optimization:
- determination of an
optimum average green density for new compacts and powders
- determination of an
optimum lubricant and binder content
- determination of an
optimum die material to minimize friction
- optimizing die
temperature effects |
R & D:
- new powders and mixtures
- temperature effects on pressing
- optimizing die
materials and die surface coatings
- improving lubricants
and binders
- improving product quality |
