Assertion (A): Pressed compacts sometimes crack during ejection rather than during pressing.
Reason (R): Elastic energy stored under load is released as the compact leaves the constraint of the die.

  • A.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • B.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • C.A is true but R is false
  • D.A is false but R is true

Answer: A

Correct answer: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Both are true and the reason gives the mechanism. Under load the compact is elastically strained and the die holds it; as it is pushed clear the constraint is removed one section at a time and the stored energy is released as springback. If the compact relaxes faster than its weak green strength can accommodate, it laminates or cracks - which is why ejection is done slowly and why a tapered die exit helps.
