A Review on Design of Compaction Press Tool

The real advantage of PM is to cost effectively produce large volume, highly tolerance metal components & widely applied to produce mainly automotive parts such as bearings cap, cams, synchronisation hub, sprocket and toothed components. The ongoing debate has always centred on properties, such as strength, size and life of Tool. Tool material selection and material characteristics are being engineered to specific applications and requirements. Flexibility and knowledge of process variables is the key for both the end-user and the component manufacturer. We, as an industry, see challenging new horizons that only require a little inspiration, ingenuity and persistence. There is little repetitive failure during production of Compaction (Forming) press tool found in manufacturing process. Each failure causes very high Economical cost to manufacturer in terms of production loss due to down time as well as commitments to the customer. The failure analysis of this compaction press tool was found most interesting. During these work modes of failures of tool was studied to conclude and recommend the solution. Design of compaction press tool was the methodology used to analysis the problem. Reviewed the history of the compaction tool compared the capacity of the pressing various possible design conditions, results and conclusion of the study will be very useful for compaction in future planning process.
