AN INVESTIGATION ON STATISTICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF IRON POWDER PROPERTIES
Öz
In this study, the powder characteristics of iron powder with irregular shapes of particles and its five size fractions obtained from sieve analysis are statistically investigated. The primary loose powder characteristics which include particle size and size distributions as well as particle shape distributions are obtained by using sieve analysis and optical-microscopy techniques. The equivalent diameter (projected area diameter) concept is primarily used to present the results of particle size measurements by optical microscopy technique. The secondary loose powder
characteristics such as apparent density, tap density, flow time and angle of repose are measured for the iron powder and its five size fractions. Sample size determination technique is used to calculate required number of particles to be observed to obtain reliable and accurate results for the primary characterization of the powder. Several statistical probability density functions are tried to obtain the best fit of the experimental equivalent diameter histograms of iron particles. An attempt is made to correlate the fitted distribution function parameters and the measured secondary loose powder characteristics
