Predicting tablet tensile strength with a model derived from the gravitation-based high-velocity compaction analysis data

This present work investigates the effects of sintering temperature on densification, mechanical properties and microstructure of Al-based alloy pressed by high-velocity compaction. The green samples were heated under the flow of high pure (99.99 wt%) N2. The heating rate was 4 °C/min before 315 °C. For reducing the residual stress, the samples were isothermally held for one h. Then, the specimens were respectively heated at the rate of 10 °C/min to the temperature between 540 °C and 700 °C, held for one h, and then furnace-cooled to the room temperature. Results indicate that when the sintered temperature was 640 °C, both the sintered density and mechanical properties was optimum. Differential Scanning Calorimetry, X-ray diffraction of sintered samples, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy, and Transmission Electron Microscope were used to analyse the microstructure and phases.

In this research, the effects of the compaction velocity on the sinterability of the Al–Fe–Cr–Ti powder metallurgy (PM) alloy by high velocity compaction were investigated. The Al–Fe–Cr–Ti alloy powder was compacted with different velocities by high velocity compaction and then sintered under a flow of high pure (99.999 wt%) nitrogen gas. Results indicated that both the sintered density and mechanical properties increased with increasing compaction velocity. By increasing the compaction velocity, the shrinkage of the sintered samples decreased. A maximum sintered density of 2.85 gcm−3 (relative density is 98%) was obtained when the compaction velocity was 9.4 ms−1. The radial and axial shrinkage were controlled to less than 1% at a compaction velocity of 9.4 ms−1. At a compaction velocity of 9.4 ms−1, sintered compacts with an ultimate tensile strength of 222 MPa and a yield strength of 160 MPa were achieved. The maximum elongation was observed to be 2.6%. The enhanced tensile properties of the Al–Fe–Cr–Ti alloy were mainly due to particle boundary strengthening.

Chain Lengths

Force chains play an important role in linking the macro- and micro-mechanisms of powder in high velocity compaction (HVC). Force chain lengths, as an important quantitative characteristic, can describe the geometry of force chains. In this study, force chain lengths and their relation to other force chain characteristics in HVC were investigated by discrete element method. Results revealed that force chain length decreased and it can be related to the densification process of ferrous powder in HVC. Moreover, long force chains extended from top to bottom and may play a major role in supporting load, although the percentage of long force chains was low. Probability density functions of force chain lengths further showed the exponential decay. The proportion of short force chains increased and the proportion of long force chains decreased. Long force chains had high strength and can be aligned to the direction of the external load, but force chain lengths did not have clear relation to straightness. These relations were confirmed by Pearson correlation coefficients.
