Abstract


The goal of this paper is to determine the optimum pressure of compacting nanocomposite TiB2 powders using FEM. The samples will be further sintered using resistive and microwave heating. The range of the particle size distribution of TiB2 powders was between 0.14-0.37 µm. Three different values for compaction pressure were applied namely 500, 700 and 1000 MPa. The conclusion was that the pressure of 1000 MPa leads to the damage of the active element of the die. The finite element analysis offers profound insights into the structural behavior and material strength during the titanium diboride pressing process, providing essential information for the optimization and improvement of manufacturing technologies.
