Die filling during dry compaction shaping operations is one important process step, which influences quality and complexity of the compacts as well as the processing speed. A method for characterizing the die filling behavior under process-oriented conditions will be presented. By the use of a self-constructed filling device, the filling progress can be visualized and quantified via image processing. The density structure of the resulting bulk in the die is analyzed using computer tomography. On the basis of experiments with ceramic granules the potential of the new method is shown
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
