Self-ordering of balls in compressed thin layers

Resumo

Structural ordering in thin layers of SHS powders caused by uniaxial pressing in cylindrical molds was modeled in experiments with still bearing balls upon variation in mold diameter D and its inclination angle α. The results may turn helpful for elaborating practical recommendations for improving the density, uniformity, and structure of long-sized green compacts for subsequent use in SHS production of cylindrical items.
