Abstract

compactation of powder mixtures containing soft and hard components influence of pressure oscillation metal matrix composites microstructural investigation
The effect of pressure cycling on the densification and ejection of Pb‐Al 2 O 3 powder‐mixtures is investigated and compared to static loading for volume fractions of Al 2 O 3 , between 0 and 80 %. The density of all mixtures increases with time under constant pressure even at room temperature. This mechanical behavior is the result of the creep of lead. This effect diminishes with increasing volume fraction of Al 2 O 3 . Pressure cycling does not have any influence on the final density of lead samples but becomes important for the mixture with Al 2 O 3 leading to higher density and strength than static pressing for the same dwell time. This effect is enhanced with increasing Al 2 O 3 percentage. The ejection force is higher after cyclic compaction at a given pressure level due to the higher density achieved.
