In this research, powder die filling processes has been studied using a novel laboratory experimental set-up, with a ring-shaped die, for assessing die fill characteristics of thin, high precision components of interest to Gates Canada. In this investigation, usefulness of incorporating a perforated plate at the bottom of the feed shoe to improve the density uniformity in the filling condition is assessed. With this arrangement, flow and distribution of powder during the delivery stage is monitored. The powder flow pattern observed through the transparent window is utilized for obtaining full-field displacement data using an optical measurement technique. In addition to the above, several powder flow characteristics during die filling have been studied through a series of high-speed camera recordings. The role of shoe speed, and powder properties in the development of density gradient have been experimentally assessed. A series of full-scale experiments with coloured salt as a powder medium to mimic the iron powder flow have been conducted to understand flow patterns, and segregation of powder during the filling process. Further, a novel method of density measurement of the part in die-fill condition by heating iron powder with a polymeric resin is explored. Qualitative density data obtained from the die filling experiments, and subsequent porosity data from powder sintering in the die have been compared, to understand the reasons for density gradient in the die-cavity.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
