“…Additionally, while using a HighVelocity Compaction (HVC) device, Eriksson et al (2003) observed a cumulative effect of the energy of impact on the green density when performing several impacts. Thus, HVC has been used to form ceramic compacts (Souriou et al, 2009) as well as Titanium (Yan et al, 2011) and Ferrous (Wang et al, 2009) green-bodies having better homogeneity than their counterparts obtained by conventional uniaxial pressing. While the HVC technique has also been used recently to sinter, by self heating and local melting, semi-crystalline polymer powders (Jauffrès et al, 2009), it is only recently that Tang et al (2010) used gravitational potential energy to perform one strike of HVC in a forging mold heated by coils and, thus, obtain samples having a higher density.…”
