Sintered parts mechanical properties are very sensitive to final density, which inevitable cause an enormous density gradient in the green part coming from the compaction process strategy. The current experimental method to assess green density occurs mainly in set up by cutting the green parts in pieces and measuring its average density in a balance using Archimedes principle. Simulation is the more accurate method to verify gradient density and the main benefit would be the correlation with the critical region in terms of stresses obtained by FEA and try to pursue the optimization process. This paper shows a case study of a part that had your fatigue limit improved 1000% using compaction process simulation for better optimization.
