Physical bases of quasi-isostatic compaction of powder materials.

The physical bases of quasi-isostatic compaction and the kinetics of elastically compacting elements in a pressing regime are studied, making it possible to establish the reasons for compact breakage and to create in molds a reliable construction for anti-breakage devices providing preparation of unbroken articles and high quality. A design theory is developed for scale dimensions of compacting elements. Calculation equations are provided for their original dimensions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
