Cold consolidation molding was used to press stainless steel dust into briquettes,and they were tested on microcomputer-controlled electronic universal testing machine to investigate their compressive strength.A series of the single factor experiments were done to study influences of curing time,holding pressure time and water loss of pellet on the compressive strength of briquettes.Additionally,the main factors and sub-factors affecting the intensity of briquettes were pointed out by the orthogonal tests,i...
