State whether the following is true or false.
A pressed compact is exactly the size of the die cavity when ejected.

  • A.False only at small scales
  • B.True
  • C.False
  • D.True only at large scales

Answer: C

Correct answer: False

The compact springs back on ejection, expanding by a few tenths of a per cent to a per cent as the elastic strain is released. The die must therefore be cut undersize by that allowance, which is determined by trial for each powder and binder system - and the springback is the same phenomenon that causes ejection cracking when it happens too abruptly.
