Conclusions
-
1.
In investigations of the densification process of metal powders, it is convenient to introduce the concept of stress reduction — a magnitude determined as the differerence between the athermal strengthening effect and the pressing stress.
-
2.
The degree of stress reduction is related to the temperature and degree of densification of powders by a power function, and increases as these two parameters are increased.
-
3.
The relationship between stress reduction and densification rate has a logarithmic character; with rise in the rate, the extent of stress reduction falls.
-
4.
The possibility is shown of separating the strengthening from the strength-loss effect in the overall pressing pressure.
-
5.
It has been established that, with rise in the degree of powder densification, the strengthening effect increases, while the fraction of the strength loss falls.
