Standard Test Method for Compressibility of Metal Powders in Uniaxial Compaction

Importancia y uso:

5.1 The compressibility value obtained by this test is a measure of a material characteristic of the powder.

5.2 The test method is useful in research and development projects, as a quality control test in the evaluation and manufacturing control of metal powder production, and as an acceptance test for shipment of metal powder lots.

5.3 In PM production operations, the test is helpful in determining pressing and tooling requirements for parts.

5.4 Results may be affected by test conditions such as the type, amount, and method of lubrication, dwell time during compaction, and die material. The compressibility values may not necessarily agree with results obtained under production conditions.
