Abstract
The effect of moisture on the behaviour of sodium chloride under compression was investigated by measurement of compaction forces and ejection forces. Saturated solution present at the crystal surfaces effected a reduction in friction at the inter-particulate boundary and between the particles and the die wall. Dry material formed compacts of higher strength than wet material except at low pressures. Subsequent drying of compacts prepared in the presence of moisture resulted in an increase in strength due to interparticulate recrystallisation.Keywords
