CRADA Develops Model for Powder Pressing and Die Design: Part Two

摘要

The general objective of the CRADA was to create a new paradigm for ceramic powder pressing that integrates engineering expertise with fundamental scientific understanding in a predictive model for powder compaction.rnThe five member companies of AACCMC1 supplied powders and powder compacts to support materials characterization, made ceramic parts using different powders, compaction methods and forming dies to help test and validate the compaction model; beta tested the compaction modeling software package to identify bugs and potential improvements; and completed pressing simulations to apply the compaction modeling technology to in-house parts/problems.rnPart One of this article focused on the national laboratories' work on identifying an appropriate compaction model and developing the compaction modeling software package to simulate the powder pressing process.
