Multi component non sequential (MCNS) PM compaction on a single machine

The rotary compaction technique has been shown to be capable of achieving high density consolidation of loose PM materials, using low forces. The development of split tooling has also allowed the compaction of parts having re-entrant features. Recent activities at the University of Nottingham have s...

Description
Summary:The rotary compaction technique has been shown to be capable of achieving high density consolidation of loose PM materials, using low forces. The development of split tooling has also allowed the compaction of parts having re-entrant features. Recent activities at the University of Nottingham have sought to develop the split tooling concept and use it to obtain MCNS part production on a single machine. The paper describes these activities and outlines the prospects which they hold for flexible batch production of PM parts.
