Abstract

The die stress profiles during compaction of commercially pure titanium (Ti) and commercial lubricated iron (Fe) powders were experimentally investigated using an instrumented die. The die was designed to simulate double-action pressing, and a detailed stress profile was measured along the height of the die using multiple custom-made strain gage pins. The stress history shows that residual stress remained in the die in the radial direction after the axial compaction stress was removed from the powder. Also, the stress profile at the maximum axial stress and the residual stress profile were observed to be symmetric across the height of the compact for both powders, but both have a unique shape for each powder. For both the stress profile at the maximum axial stress and the residual stress profile, the unlubricated Ti powder produced a much higher radial stress at the center of the compact with a steep pressure gradient on both top and bottom of the compact, while the lubricated Fe powder produced a rather uniform radial stress distribution along the height of the compact.
