The size and shape of the particles within a powder are important factors in influencing behaviour, and many well-established techniques exist for measuring these properties. However, over a range of different processes, the relationship between these two parameters and flow properties is less well-understood, and due to the varying demands powders are subjected to by different processes, the effect of the two parameters may not be consistent or easily quantified.
This application note explores the influence of particle size and shape on powder flowability under a range of different conditions.
