Particle packing involves arranging coarse, medium, and fine fractions in precise ratios to achieve maximum density, often determined experimentally. Dry packing measures density by filling, leveling, and vibrating a container to prevent grain segregation. In ceramics, especially with alumina, fine fractions aid sintering, though cost often limits particle sizes to affordable -325-mesh options. Achieving dense packing depends on particle size, shape, and proper mixing, with techniques like rolling slips used to increase solid content and reduce water volume.
