In recent years there has been wider and wider development of isostatic pressing of large complex-shaped parts, a disadvantage of which is the necessity of machining of the parts in connection with significant deviations from their specified shape and dimensions. Therefore, preliminary preparation of the material before isostatic pressing acquires great value.The use of vibration actionsto accomplish or activate certain production operations is very effective. Vibration is widely used in the preparation of concrete and formation of parts from it, in processes of dispersing and granulating materials, in ramming posts and shunts and removal of them from the ground, for movement and mixing of loose materials, in heat and mass exchange process, etc.Vibropressing with the application of significant external forces is used as a selfcontained forming method. The action of vibration with the application of comparatively small (up to 0.15 MPa) external forces (overloading) insufficient to obtain a strong and dense raw material may be used as a preliminary operation before subsequent static or isostatic pressing [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. The combination of vibrovacuum packing and isostatic pressing provides uniform density and accuracy in shape and dimensions of parts.There are publications on the first domestic investigations of vibropressing of parts from dispersed refractory materials [9], of Dinas parts with a specified thermal conductivity [i0], and of large magnesite blocks [ii]. Vibropressing of thermal insulation parts [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] and concrete [13, 14] has been described. In the post-war years the investigation and production introduction of vibropressing of refractory parts and also developments of special equipment have been accomplished by the All~Union Refractory Institute [25][26][27][28].Investigations of methods of vibropressing of dispersed materials is inseparably linked with the development of powder metallurgy technology, dry concreting, and the use of a vibroboiling bed [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] but until the present time systematic scientific developments of technologies related to vibration processes, other than the vibrotransportation process [23], have been lacking. This may be explained by the great difficulty in a satisfactory, without substantial limitations, mathematical description of a dispersed system during vibropacking, in which the change in the very parameters characterizing this system occur nonlinearally [22]. The final condition of such a system depends both upon factors related to the properties of the powder masses being packed and the form and dimensions of the parts being pressed and upon the conditions of vibropacking.Powders are characterized by the degree of dispersion, the grain size composition, the form of the grains and their hardness (brittleness), the moisture content, the fluidity, the composition and content of the temporary (production) binder, and its distribution. These properties of the powder depend upon the method of...
