摘要:
High velocity compaction (HVC) process is a new method for producing higher density PM parts. In the paper water atomized pure iron powder with no any lubricant added was compacted by the technique. The relationships among the impact velocity, the green density, the stress wave and the bending strength were discussed. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and a computer controlled universal testing machine were used to study the morphologies and the bending strength of samples, respectively. The results show that with increasing impact velocity, the green density and the bending strength increase gradually. Furthermore, the maximum impact pressure increases gradually and the duration of stress wave prolongs slowly as the impact velocity rises up. The comprehensive effect between the pressure and the duration of stress wave leads to the green density increasing. In the study, the optimal impact velocity is 9.8 m/s, achieving the green density of 7.513 g/cm3 and the bending strength of 61 MPa.
