How to Calculate and Solve for Ballability of Steel Dust | Powder Metallurgy
Last Updated on December 10, 2021
The image above represents ballability of steel dust.
To compute for ballability of steel dust, five essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Coefficient of Ballability (k), Mass Ratio (Mq), Angular Velocity (ω), Angle of Bonding (θ) and Diameter of Ball Formed (d).
The formula for calculating ballability of steel dust:
Ba = kMqω²cosθ/d
Where:
Ba = Ballability of Steel Dust
k = Coefficient of Ballability
Mq = Mass Ratio
ω = Angular Velocity
θ = Angle of Bonding
d = Diameter of Ball Formed
Let’s solve an example;
Find the ballability of steel dust when the coefficient of ballability is 12, the mass ratio is 10, the angular velocity is 14, the angle of bonding is 8 and the diameter of ball formed is 11.
This implies that;
k = Coefficient of Ballability = 12
Mq = Mass Ratio = 10
ω = Angular Velocity = 14
θ = Angle of Bonding = 8
d = Diameter of Ball Formed = 11
Ba = kMqω²cosθ/d
Ba = (12)(10)(14)²cos(8)/11
Ba = (12)(10)(196)(0.99)/11
Ba = (23291.10)/11
Ba = 2117.37
Therefore, the ballability of steel dust is 2117.37.
