Chelyabinsk scientists have created a unique method for the production of composite powder metals

A team of SUSU employees presented a unique method and design of a mixer for the preparation of powder

composite materials based on graphite, coke and polymer component.

As the authors noted, the new method will improve the quality of finished raw materials for the subsequent pressing process and reduce production waste in the field of nuclear energy, aviation and space industry, metallurgy and   electric transport.

Experts have proposed not one new algorithm, buta number of techniques for mixing powder, which allow to obtain a carbon composition - a multicomponent material. The result is high-quality products due to the most uniform distribution of properties over the volume of the part made from it. Accordingly, in different parts of the product, the material has the same physical and mechanical properties: for example, it is equally strong and dense.

The results obtained are unique andcan be used in other technological operations and equipment related to the processes of manufacturing parts from powder composite materials.

The new development may be relevant for companies engaged in the production of mixing equipment, as the new technology  increases theEquipment efficiency due to less waste during mixing.
