Summary
This work is a continuation of research at Imperial College into the feasibility of producing viable products from iron powder, without sintering. Further experiments have been carried out to establish the relationship between pressure and density in isostatic compaction and the effect of the back pressure in fluid-to-fluid extrusion of the compacts. The possibility was also investigated of using the design of double reduction die, proposed by Fiorentino and his colleagues at Battelle Memorial Institute, to eliminate the need for fluid-to-fluid extrusion of these brittle compacts.
