Abstract

The industrial processing of sintered powder preforms has recently been developed for manufacturing various engineering components. The present investigation has been undertaken with a view to studying the deformation characteristics and fracture mechanism during the cold forging of sintered copper powder strips. The influence of compacting pressure, sintering temperature and forging parameters on the relative density of the copper powder strip is explored. Experiments have been conducted and measurements made on the development of barrelling and strain variations at the free surface. Crack formation at the free surface has also been examined. The theoretical and experimental results are analysed and discussed critically to explain the deformation characteristics and the fracturing of sintered copper powder strips during cold forging. Results are presented graphically.
