Compactability Regularities Observed during Cold Uniaxial Pressing of Layered Powder Green Samples Based on Ti-Al-Nb-Mo-B and Ti-B

We determined the compactability regularities observed during the cold uniaxial pressing of layered powder green samples, taking into account factors such as composition, height, and number of Ti-B (TiB) and Ti-Al-Nb-Mo-B (TNM) layers. The following composition was chosen for the TNM layer at %: 51.85Ti-43Al-4Nb-1Mo-0.15B, while for the Ti-B layer we selected the composition wt %: Ti-B-(20, 30, 40) Ti. Green samples were made containing both 100 vol % TiB and TNM, and those taken in the following proportions, vol %: 70TiB/30TNM, 50TiB/50TNM, 30TiB/70TNM; multilayer green samples were studied in the following proportions, vol %: 35TiB/30TNM/35TiB, 25TiB/25TNM/25TiB/25TNM, 35TNM/30TiB/35TNM. Based on the obtained rheological data, we determined the rheological characteristics of the layered green samples, including compressibility modulus, compressibility coefficient, relaxation time, and limiting value of linear section deformation. These characteristics were found to vary depending on the composition, height, and number of layers. Our findings revealed that reducing the TNM content in the charge billet composition improves the compaction of powder materials under the given technological parameters of uniaxial cold pressing. Moreover, we observed that increasing the boron content and decreasing the amount of titanium in the Ti-B composition enhances the compactability of powder materials. We also established a relationship between the compaction pressure interval and the density of the layered powder green sample.

Automated summary

In this study, the compactability regularities of layered powder green samples during cold uniaxial pressing were determined, considering factors such as composition, height, and number of layers. It was found that reducing the TNM content in the charge billet composition improves the compaction of powder materials, while increasing the boron content and decreasing the amount of titanium in the Ti-B composition enhances the compactability. A relationship between the compaction pressure interval and the density of the layered powder green sample was also established.
