Abstract

Experiments have been undertaken using a lubricated iron alloy powder to analyse rolling segregation using a novel bench size segregation tester. Bulk particulates charcaterised by small particle sizes, narrow size distributions, free-flowing natures, high particle densities and high inter-particle forces of attraction; necessitate the use of a very careful experimental procedure to obtain repeatable results. A 16 cup spinning riffler has been used to obtain representative samples and dry sieving has been used to obtain particle size distributions. The effect of height of discharge on surface effect segregation within the heap has also been analysed for an iron alloy powder. Close tolerances in powder quality are necessary for efficient production, and control of these tolerances can only be achieved by detailed analysis of materials and processes. The quantification and identification of segregation effects has been a challenge, especially in the field of powder metallurgy. This study attempts to quantify segregation and is considered as a first step towards the prediction of segregation behaviour for general powders.
