The paper examines the warm pressing of copper-based powder mixtures with additions of lead, graphite, and tungsten. It is shown that the density increases by 2 to 3% in warm pressing of copperbased powders with additions of lead and graphite at 800 MPa and their bending strength and elastic modulus become almost twice as high. The tungsten content of 20 and 50% of the compact increases the bending strength. Preliminary cold pressing of the samples before warm pressing has practically no effect on material properties and, hence, does not contribute to energy saving.
