Using the latest scientific techniques we helped an international student with compressing powders.
The Customer
Our specialist equipment, and the latest scientific techniques, help companies investigate the compressibility of powders.
The customer, an international student with a major global car manufacturer, contacted us as they weren’t familiar with powder metallurgy. They needed expert assistance to compress their metal powder samples of investigational material for further use in in-house tests.
The Requirements
The powder needed to be in the form of compacts and the material had challenging compression properties. We carried out a personalised programme of testing to help compact the investigational powder to their specification. The customer required a small number of compacts with desired properties for further analytical measurements at their own facility. The compaction study was conducted at different speeds and compression profiles, with and without lubrication, to find a process capable of making acceptable compacts, so they could be taken away for further evaluation.
The project was completed on the hydraulic compaction simulator and was delivered under the supervision of the company, following a brief for a speedy turnaround time.
