The effect of a metal mold on densification behavior of stainless steel 316L powder was investigated under warm isostatic pressing with a metal mold. We use lead as a metal mold and obtain experimental data of metal mold properties. To simulate densification behavior of metal powder, elastoplastic constitutive equation proposed by Shima and Oyane was implemented into a finite element program (ABAQUS) under warm die pressing and warm isostatic pressing with a metal mold. Finite element results were compared with experimental data for densification and deformation of metal powder under warm isostatic pressing and warm die pressing.

A finite element analysis for near-net-shape forming of A16061 powder was performed under warm rubber isostatic pressing and warm die pressing. The advantages of warm compaction by rubber isostatic pressing were discussed to obtain a part with better density distributions. The shape of rubber mold was designed by determining a cavity shape that provides a desired shape of the final powder compact. To simulate densification and deformed shape of a powder compact during pressing, the elastoplastic constitutive equation based on yield function of Shima-Oyane was implemented into a finite element program(ABAQUS). The hyperelastic constitutive equation based on the Ogden strain energy Potential was employed to analyze nonlinear elastic response of rubber. Finite element results were compared with experimental data for Al6061 powder compacts under warm die pressing and warm isostatic pressing.

Densification behaviors of mixed metal powder under high temperature were investigated. Experimental data of mixed copper and tool steel powder with various volume fractions of Cu powder were obtained under hot isostatic pressing and hot pressing. By mixing the creep potentials of McMeeking and co-workers and of Abouaf and co-workers originally for pure powder, the mixed creep potentials with various volume fractions of Cu powder were employed in the constitutive models. The constitutive equations were implemented into a finite element program (ABAQUS) to compare with experimental data for densification of mixed powder under hot isostatic pressing and hot pressing. Finite element calculations by using the creep potentials of Abouaf and co-workers agreed reasonably well with experimental data, however, those by McMeeking and co-workers underestimate experimental data as observed in the case of pure metal powders.

Densification behavior of titanium alloy powder was investigated under hot pressing at various pressures and temperatures. Experimental date were obtained for densification of titanium alloy powder under an instantaneous loading and subsequent creep deformation during hot pressing. The constitutive models of Fleck et al. and the modified Gurson were employed for thermo-phastic deformation under the instantaneous loading and that f Abouaf and co-workers for creep deformation of titanium alloy powder during hot pressing. By implementing these constitutive equations into a finite element program(ABAQUS), finite element results were compared with experimental data during hot pressing. To investigate the effect of friction between the power and die wall, density distributions of power compacts were measured and compared with finite element calculations. Finite element results from the models of Fleck et al. and the modified Gurson agreed reasonably good with experimental data for densification and density distribution of titanium alloy powder under the instantaneous loading during hot pressing. Finite element results from the model of Abouaf and co-workers, however, somewhat overestimate experimental data for creep deformation of power compacts during hot pressing.

The effects of friction between powder and a mandrel on densification behavior of metal powder were investigated under cold isostatic pressing. The elastoplastic constitutive equations based on the yield function of Shima and Oyane were implemented into finite element program (ABAQUS) to simulate compaction responses of metal powders during cold isostatic pressing. The friction coefficients between powder and mandrels with different roughness were determined by comparing experimental data and finite element results. Density distributions in the powder compacts were also studied for different friction coefficients. Finite element results were compared with experimental data for pure iron powder under cold isostatic pressing.

The effect of a rubber mould on densification behavior of aluminum alloy powder was investigated under cold isostatic compaction. A thickness of rubber mould and friction effect between die wall and rubber mould were also studied. The hyperelastic constitutive equation based on the Ogden strain energy potential was employed to analyze deformation of rubber. The elastoplastic constitutive equation of Shima and Oyane and that of Lee on densification were implemented into a finite element program (ABAQUS) to simulate densification of metal powder for cold isostatic pressing and rubber isostatic pressing. Finite element results were compared with experimental data for densification and deformation of aluminum alloy powder under isostatic compaction.

Near-net-shape forming of zirconia powder was investigated under the combination of cold die and isostatic pressing and pressureless sintering. A novel combination pressing technique, i.e., die com paction under cold isostatic pressing, allowed to produce a complex shaped ceramic powder compact with the controlled dimensions and relatively uniform density distributions. The constitutive models proposed by Kim and co-workers for densification of ceramic powder under cold compaction and high temperature were implemented into a finite element program (ABAQUS). Experimental data for relative density distributions and deformations of zirconia powder compacts produced by cold combination pressing and pressureless sintering were compared with finite element results. Finite element results agreed well with experimental data.

Densification behavior of copper powder was investigated to study the effect of an aluminum mold under warm pressing. The low flow stress of an aluminum mold is appropriate to apply hydrostatic stress to powder compacts during compaction under high temperature. The suggested powder metallurgy process is very useful under high temperature since copper powder compacts have higher relative density over axial stress of 100 MPa and show more homogeneity as compared with conventional warm pressing. Elastoplastic constitutive equation proposed by Shima and Oyane was implemented into a finite element program (ABAQUS) for densification behavior under warn pressing by using a metal mold. Finite element results agreed well with experimental data for densification and deformation of copper powder compacts in the mold.
