The effects of agglomerate properties, such as the binder type, binder content, moisture level, and agglomerate size, on a model compaction process was investigated by using green density-pressure interrelationships for a range of agglomerated alumina powders. The model compaction process involved single ended nominal uniaxial stress transmission in a cylindrical die. The influences of the sample aspect ratio, die wall lubrication, and compaction rate were also investigated. Two types of water soluble polymeric agents, a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), were used. It was shown that certain agglomerate properties have a strong influence upon the compaction behaviour of these ceramic powders. The extent of the compaction is enhanced by using agglomerates with a low agglomerate yield point. In the PVA system, the agglomerate yield points decreased with increasing moisture content. The compaction behaviour of the agglomerates showed a rate dependency, that is, the compaction is retarded with increased pressing rate. The green densities of the compacts prepared in the unlubricated die were lower than those of the compacts prepared in the lubricated die due to the higher wall frictional forces operating in the unlubricated die.

The surface topography of compacted agglomerates; A means to optimize compaction conditions Özkan, Necati (1996-02-01) The measurement and quantification of the surface topography of single-ended die-pressed cylindrical compacts, prepared using agglomerated alumina powders at various values of compaction pressure and cylinder aspect ratio, are described and a means to study the deformation and breakdown of the agglomerates at the die walls is evaluated. A specially constructed non-contacting laser scanning profilometer, with associated hardware and software, is described and has been used to obtain the surface topographical...
Thermal characteristics of crude oils treated with rheology modifiers Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Cloudy, P.; Martin, D.; Garcin, M.; Volle, J.L. (1997-12-01) Thermal characteristics of eight crude oils and their treatment with additives were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermomicroscopy, viscometer and pour point tester. Different additives were found as more effective for different type of crude oils depending on the wax content. Crude oils showed a reduced pour point after treatment with additives. Effects of different additives were also discussed by analysing the DSC curves and thermomicroscopy result.
Fabrication of microporous ceramics from ceramic powders of quartz-natural zeolite mixtures San, O; Abali, S; Hoşten, Çetin (Elsevier BV, 2003-01-01) The possibility of producing ceramic powders suitable for the fabrication of microporous filters was investigated through the thermal treatment of the powder mixtures of a high-purity (99.09% SiO2) quartz and clinoptilolite type of natural zeolite. The quartz and zeolite, mixed in the ratio of 3:1 by weight, was wet ground in a ball mill, the powder was sieved on a 90-mum screen, and the undersize was dried and sintered in the powder form at the temperatures of 1000, 1100 and 1200degreesC for 7 h in an air ...
Structural characteristics of thermally evaporated Cu0.5Ag0.5InSe2 thin films Gullu, H. H.; Parlak, Mehmet (2016-05-01) In this work, Cu0.5Ag0.5InSe2 (CAIS) thin film samples were prepared by thermal evaporation of Cu, Ag, InSe and Se evaporants sequentially on glass substrates. Following the deposition, annealing processes were applied at different temperatures. The as-grown and annealed CAIS samples were nearly stoichiometric in the detection limit of the compositional measurement. The x-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements revealed that they were in polycrystalline structure with a preferred orientation along the (112) dire...
The characterisation of die friction as a means to reduce component machining and attain near-net shape form Özkan, Necati; AYDIN, I. (1998-01-01) The cylindrical alumina compacts, produced by the uniaxial die pressing technique, posses a certain density distribution due to the creation of uneven stress distributions within the samples, which are controlled, in a major part, by the wall boundary (friction) conditions between the compact and the die wall. Die wall lubrication reduces the wall friction and hence the density variations within the compact. The extent of the shape deviations in the sintered compacts is directly proportional to the extent o...
