- Abstract
- A review and classification of 42 finite element simulations of the die compaction of powder metals is presented here. The present work aims to provide the powder metallurgy researcher or practitioner a strategy for which a finite element code and a constitutive material model should be chosen for a given powder type. Ferrous powders are the most-investigated material in the literature, with the vast majority of the papers using a granular constitutive material formulation in their work. Works typically concentrating on the simulation of sintered or high density parts generally use porous material models. Of the papers that report which software is being used in the modelling approach, most use either of the commercial codes ABAQUS or LS-DYNA for mainly granular material models. ABAQUS has been noted as being a popular choice for non-ferrous powders.
