Abstract

Mixing, one of important steps in the powder metallurgy process, has a purpose to combinetwo or more materials into a single homogeneous product which is needed to achieve the standard requirements for the next manufacturing process. In this paper, double-cone mixer was chosen as theobject of research due to some parameters that are compulsory in the mixing process. Therefore, thisstudy was conducted to investigate these parameters, particularly the effect of fill level and the rotational speed on the mixing index of Cu-Sn composite. The fill levels that being observed were 40, 50, 60, and 70% and the vessel rotational speed were 20, 30, 40, and 50 rpm. The simulation wascarried out using the Discrete Element Method and followed with result's evaluation by using the Lacey-Rose mixing index. The result showed that the mixing index climbed in accordance with the increasing of the rotational speed. In conclusion, the optimum speed and fill level were obtained at, respectively, 50 rpm and 50% of the total volume.
