Cold compaction is a process used in powder metallurgy and ceramics to form solid objects from powders without the need for high temperatures. It involves applying pressure to a powder in a die at room temperature, which causes the particles to bond together, resulting in a dense and strong material.

Cold Compaction

Powder metallurgy is like making things out of tiny pieces of metal that are squished together to make something new. This helps make parts that are strong and can be used in cars, airplanes, and toys.

Powder Metallurgy

Ceramics are non-metallic, inorganic materials that are typically crystalline in nature and are formed through the application of heat. They are known for their hardness, brittleness, and resistance to heat and chemical erosion, making them essential in both traditional applications like pottery and advanced technologies such as aerospace and electronics.

A die is a small, throwable object with marked sides used for generating random numbers, typically in games or gambling. Its design ensures equal probability for each outcome, making it a fundamental tool in probability theory and decision-making processes.
