Effect of different granulation processes and powder particle sizes on uniformity of diamond distribution in the mixed powder by Zhenghui MA, Ting HU, Wen LUO, Zhi FANG, Feng LUO

“…The actual numbers of diamond particles in each sample were counted manually, the actual numbers of particles were compared with the calculated theoretical numbers of diamond particles and the deviation values were obtained. The averages and the ranges of the deviation values were used to determine the uniformity of diamond distribution in the mixed powder containing diamond.Results(1) From the morphology of the powder particles, it can be seen that the circular granulation produces spherical-shaped powder, the cold press crushing granulation produces irregularly shaped powder with distinguishable original particle morphology on its surface, and the diffusion crushing granulation produces irregularly complex shaped powder. (2) The loose packing ratio of powder produced by cold press crushing granulation is the highest, while the loose packing ratio of powder produced by disk granulation and diffusion crushing granulation is not significantly different. …”
