Abstract: Colloidal isopressing provides a rapid method to form an engineering shape from a powder slurry, previously filtered to remove strength degrading inclusions. A slurry composed of a weakly attractive particle network, produced with a short-range, repulsive interparticle par potential, is consolidated to make a body with a high particle density that is easily fluidized by vibration. The fluid-like body is injected into a flexible mold and subjected to a larger isostatic pressure to force particles into contact. This creates a strong, elastic body with the shape of the mold. Because the particles are forced into contact at a high pressure, the liquid remaining within the component can be removed by evaporation without shrinkage, avoiding fracture during rapid drying.
