Abstract

THE briquetting of small particles usually consists of the application of pressure in controlled conditions so that the individual particles hold together to form a coherent compact. Many mechanisms have been suggested to explain why the particles cohere to form a compact, but none have been based on satisfactory observation of the behaviour of the individual particles under stress. Our present studies have involved such detailed observation and we describe here the essential difference in behaviour of particles of a number of different materials.
