Uniaxial consolidation experiments have been conducted at room temperature for two
deformable metal powders (1100 Al and Pb5% Sb) containing various amounts of spherical …

A model of particle packing in binary composite systems is developed. The effects of both
inclusion surfaces and touching inclusions on the packing density are taken into account. To …

A mathematical model is developed to describe, at least approximately, the densification
and reorganization of a random stacking of particles due to internal transport of material. In …

Hot isostatic pressing (HIPping) is now becoming a more widely accepted technique for
many aspects of materials processing. Two of the most important applications are for the …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the developments in theory of hot isostatic
pressing (HIP). HIP is rapidly attaining the position of the leading hot consolidation process …

Small-angle scattering techniques have been used in a number of studies to characterize
pore evolution in ceramic compacts. Parameters characterizing the pore distribution, such as …

Abstract Knowledge of the time dependent densification behaviour of technical powder
materials during HIP procedure is of interest not only to understand the fundamental …

Abstract Models of pressure-sintering and consolidation (such as that found in the HIP
process) often assume a uniform spherical powder. However, it is known that use of …

The most important aim of any theory of the sintering process is to predict the nature of
microstructural evolution of a disperse system solely on the basis of data on the initial …

Fig. 2. The fragment for analysis and the corresponding network of pores for packing with
two-dimensional (A) and log-normal distribution of particle sizes (B). A-the ratio of the radius …
