State whether the following is true or false.
Pressure applied at the punch is transmitted undiminished through a powder compact.

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

Answer: C

Correct answer: False

Powder is not a fluid: friction against the die wall and between the particles absorbs load, so the pressure falls with distance from the punch. The gradient is what produces the density variation through the depth, and it is why the aspect ratio of a pressed part is limited.
