To improve the forming quality of black powder, an experimental study was conducted to investigate the effects of pressing pressure, holding time, powder charge amount, and temperature on the forming quality of black powder. The results indicate that: at a powder charge amount of 7g and room temperature, the minimum required pressing pressure to meet density requirements is 490MPa; holding time has minimal impact on compact density in a single pressing process, with significantly superior compact density observed when products are pressed and unpressed twice compared to other processes; for a powder charge amount of 8.5g, the compact density decreases by 8% after 30 minutes compared to immediate measurement; whereas for amounts of 6.5g, 7.0g, 7.5g, and 8.0g, reduction is at most 3%; when both the powder and mold temperature are set at 50°C, density increases linearly with rising pressing pressure within the range of 150MPa to 400MPa. Beyond this threshold (400MPa), further increase in compact density slows down. Through analysis of various experimental factors, this study provides a theoretical basis for refining the pressing process and enhancing explosive component quality.
