Abstract

Friction is present between all surfaces in mechanical contact and its importance depends on the application. For example, friction is essential in many power-transmission applications, but conversely needs to be minimised in power generation. In powder-compaction processes, friction is present between particles in contact and between the powder and tool surfaces. Relevant to process simulation within a continuum framework, interparticle friction is included in the measurement of powder-yielding behaviour and this is discussed fully in Chapter 6. The current chapter focuses on friction that is present between the powder mass tool set and the following is intended to highlight its importance.
