Abstract
During unloading, pressed hard metal powder compacts expand (spring back), leading to unwarranted tensile stresses and, subsequently, crack initiation in the green body. Here, the elastic spring back and the green strength are analyzed for different types and amounts of the pressing agent PEG (polyethylene glycol). The results show that the plastic behavior, but not the elastic behavior, is influenced by a change of the pressing agent PEG. In this context, it should be stated that the risk for the initiation of cracks is influenced by both the elastic and plastic behavior after compaction. The spring back after compaction and the green strength defines to a large extent the risk for cracks. In addition, it is concluded that a standard three-point bending test is sufficient to analyze the risk for the initiation of cracks when comparing different spray-dried powders.
