HSS Metal Powder Compaction Simulation with Assisted Friction

Ioana Monica Sas Boca, Dan Frunza

Abstract :

The main objective of this study consists in improving density gradient in the powder compaction process, in defining a coherent approaching platform for the present–day trends in powder metallurgy research and development, and in developing a compaction process that could be used as a starting point for advanced powder processing technologies. Our approach will mainly focus upon issues concerning the conversion of the friction force in PM compaction processes.Numerical simulation and metallic powder compaction process model are defined and exemplified by means of the MarcAutoforge software
