Extract

The compaction process involves stress transmission via rigid or flexible (die) walls and the propagation of stresses within a powder mass. The particles that comprise the powder distribute the stress by a variety of kinematic processes that involve sliding, rotation, particle deformation, and rupture. In practice the “particles” are often agglomerates of finer particles that have a range of properties. All of these factors must be considered in developing a comprehensive predictive model for compaction.

The modeling of powder-compaction processes has a significant history that has been greatly advanced by the relatively recent general availability of powerful computers and their peripherals as well as by appropriate softwares. Compaction modeling may attempt to provide a basis for machine-loading specifications, or it may provide guidelines to help minimize “capping” defects where failure cracks form at the top of the green compact. It may also provide “green-body heterogeneity” through predicted stress and density distributions within a compact. Likewise compaction models may be combined with binder burnout and sintering models to predict internal microstructural features such as grain size and porosity, and the external shape of the sintered product. This article will deal only with the modeling of the compaction process; important elements such as powder flow for die filling and subsequent processing steps such as sintering and net shape predictions are not directly addressed.
