In the current work, 1wt% Acrawax was premixed with the aluminium and magnesium powder as a lubricant for the first group samples. However, no wax was used for the second group specimens. As a sintering aid, 1 wt% Mg was added for both group materials. Compaction of the specimens was performed using a manual Carver hydraulic press and a floating rectangular die. First group specimens were pressed to green densities of 91.5 and 92.5% using pressures of 435 and 490 MPa, respectively. In the second group (no wax) samples, 93% green density was obtained using the similar compaction pressures. These conditions produced specimens whose dimensions were: 31.8 × 12.7 × 3.5 mm 3 . As a result, an increase has been seen on the density of sintered and green compacts with rising compacting pressure. Furthermore, addition of the wax negatively affected the transverse rupture strength of the alloy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
