Powder metal compaction is the pressing of iron and steel alloy powders into the deisred part shape through the use of mechanical or hydraulic presses. The compaction of the powder occurs within a tool set made from tool steels or carbide. The tools are fabricated to form the desired shape of the part. They are heat treated and machined or ground to very close tolerances, allowing the powder to be formed into a near net-shaped part.

The "green" part is then sintered to bond that powder particles into a solid near fully dense steel part. Once the part has been sintered, other operations, such as heat treating, machining and coating, may be performed on the part.

What occurs during roller compacting when drug manufacturing?

During roller compaction, the powder is compressed by two counter rotating rollers. The material is fed into the rollers with feed screws and they also help to increase the density of the powder before the compaction stage. A compacted drug forms as a result of mechanical interlocking and intermolecular forces.
