MBN performs comprehensive morphological analysis of powders to assess their processability and consistency. Key measurements include: True density by helium pycnometry (ASTM B923-10); Apparent and tap density (IO 08 REV01 (internal)), to evaluate packing behavior; Flowability, assessed by Hall flowmeter (ASTM B213-03); Particle size distribution, measured by laser diffraction granulometry (ASTM B822-02), to ensure proper sizing for target processes. These tests are essential for quality control and tailoring powders for compatibility with the downstream compaction or deposition technologies of choice.
