Powder Analysis
Powder Flow
A bespoke experimental facility to characterise the flow behaviour of powders under conditions similar to single station or rotary presses used in powder pressing industries such as
- powder metallurgy
- hard metals
- pharmaceuticals
- ceramics
- detergents
A range of industry standard powder flow measurement devices are also available.
Powder Compaction
A die instrumented with radial stress sensors to calibrate constitutive models used for numerical simulation of the compaction of powder materials such as
- metals
- ceramics
- hard metals
- pharmaceuticals
- detergents
A range of other mechanical testing systems for measuring the strength of powder compacts are also available.
High pressure triaxial cell
A state of the art triaxial testing facility is available to characterise the constitutive response of powders under any kinematically possible loading path in stress or strain space.
If you are interested in any of these facilities or would like more information, then contact Dr Csaba Sinka, ics4@le.ac.uk, 0116 252 2555.
