Abstract

It was investigated the mechanical mixing and compacting briquettes of aluminum powder (particle size 75...250 μm) and nanopowder modifier SiC+Si3N4 (particle size 70...100 nanometers), obtained by the azide technology SHS. The mixtures containing 2.5%, 5%, 10%, 15% of the modifier were investigated. Mechanical mixing was carried out during 60 minutes in planetary mill «Pulverizette-5». Some physic-technological properties of the obtained powder mixtures, such as, particle size distribution, density, bulk weight and flowability, are determined. The powder compositions pressing was carried out on hydraulic press PSU-50 with pressure 25...90 MPa. Nanopowder pseudo-ligatures of 18 mm diameter, height to 4.6 mm, weighing 2.5 grams, with relative density 77...93%, intended for subsequent input in aluminum melt with the aim of modification are obtained.
