High velocity compaction technology was used to press 316L stainless powders. Effects of impact times on stress wave, green density and ejection force were analyzed. It was found that under the same total impact energy, the first loading time and the actuation duration of the second impact in double impact process were longer when compared with single impact process, while the first delay time was shorter. Furthermore, the green density of compacts prepared by double impact was greater than that prepared by single impact, but no obvious variation in maximum ejection force can be observed between single impact and double impact process.

To enhance the impact energy of powder high-velocity compaction (HVC) and thus improve the green density and mechanical properties of the resulting compacts, a mechanical energy storage method using combination disc springs is proposed. The high impact energy is achieved by modifying existing equipment, and the hydraulic control system is developed to implement the automatic control of the energy produced from the disc springs. An interdisciplinary cosimulation platform is established using the ADAMS, AMESim, and LabVIEW software packages to perform the interactive control of the simulation process and the real-time feedback of the simulation results. A mechanical-hydraulic cosimulation of the energy control virtual prototype of the testing machine is conducted using this platform. The influence of the impact energy on the green density is studied according to the HVC experimental results of the iron-based powders, and then, the green compact with the higher relative density is produced. The experimental results indicate that the energy enhancement method using the combination disc springs is reasonable and that the hydraulic control scheme is reliable.

High velocity compaction (HVC) is a production technique with capacity to significantly improve the mechanical properties of powder metallurgy (PM) parts. Several investigations indicate that high-density components can by obtained using HVC. Other characteristics are low ejection force and uniform density. Investigated here are green body data such as density, tensile strength, radial springback, ejection force and surface flatness. Comparisons are performed with conventional compaction using the same pressing conditions. Cylindrical samples of a pre-alloyed water atomized iron powder are used in this experimental investigation. The different behaviour of HVC-pressed green bodies compared to conventional pressed green bodies are analysed and discussed. The HVC process in this study resulted in a better compressibility curve and lower ejection force compared to conventional quasi static pressing. Vertical scanning interferometry (VSI) measurements show that the HVC process gives flatter sample surfaces.

In order to develop high density powder metallurgy forming technology, a new concept combining high velocity compaction and warm compaction called warm high velocity compaction (WHVC) was presented. A new warm high velocity compaction forming equipment which adopts gravitational potential energy instead of hydraulic cylinder as hammer driver was designed. By means of the newly developed equipment, a preliminary study on warm high velocity compaction was performed. 316L stainless powder compacts with green density of 7.47 g/cm3 were obtained; the density is much higher than those prepared by conventional high velocity compaction. These results demonstrate that the newly designed equipment can basically meet the demand of warm high velocity compaction and the new forming method is superior to the conventional high velocity compaction. In addition, Densification mechanism of WHVC was also discussed.

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.
