This study reports for the first time surface defects induced by forward-rotating roller compaction, showing that the formation of surface ridges is a cumulative process that reaches a plateau as the number of layers increase.
This paper, for the first time, reports observations of a type of powder bed surface defects (i.e., surface ridges) induced by forward-rotating roller compaction. Three compaction thicknesses, 0, 30, and 180 mm, were tested at a layer thickness of 120 mm. Surface ridges occurred on the powder bed surface when compaction thickness was 180 mm, but not when compaction thickness was 0 or 30 mm. The formation of surface ridges was a cumulative process where the number and height of surface ridges first increased and then reached a plateau as the number of spread and compacted layers increased.
