The authors present a simple and material-sparing approach for estimating the powder-flow performance of previously uncharacterized single-component bulk powders when only particle-size distribution ...

Predicting the flow characteristics of powders during manufacture is especially important for the pharmaceutical engineer. Getting the powder flow wrong can be highly disruptive to plant performance ...

Brookfield Engineering US in this article gives insights on the flow patterns and flow obstructions that can occur inside the storage vessels on a processing line A typical industrial powder ...

Fine powders and granular materials are extensively used in industrial applications. To manage and to enhance processing techniques, these materials have to be exactly characterized. The ...

The FT4 Powder Rheometer ® is a universal powder tester designed for measuring the properties of powder flow, and the behavior of powder. The FT4 is a unique powder characterization, but also used as ...

This article discusses the chemistry of additive manufacturing (AM) powders and the chemical analysis of raw ingredients, recycled materials, and feedstocks. To physically characterize these powders, ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a fast-growing field that has seen widespread interest from a range of different industries. Its ability to produce small batches of customized parts or directly ...
