Conclusions
-
1.
A study was made of the technological properties of Kh18N15 stainless steel powders having different particle size distributions and particle shapes.
-
2.
It is demonstrated that, as the amount of a medium and a fine fraction rises, the apparent density and the flowability increase, while the degree of powder compression during compaction decreases. The apparent density and the flowability of powder mixtures may diminish when the particles of the fine fraction do not arrange themselves in the interparticle pores of the main, coarse fraction.
