Powder compaction dies are used to shape powdered materials into desired forms, such as tablets, pellets, or parts for manufacturing. They apply pressure to compact the powder into a solid shape. These dies are made from durable metals like steel or carbide, which can withstand the high pressures involved in the compaction process. The powder is placed into the die cavity, and pressure is applied to compact the powder. The die has a mold that determines the final shape of the powder after compaction. Powder compaction dies are widely used in industries like pharmaceuticals (for tablet production), metallurgy (for creating metal parts), and ceramics (for shaping ceramic materials).
