Embodiment 1

[0054] Embodiment 1 (Ti-6A1-4V powder compaction experiment)

[0055] The experiment is carried out on the high-speed pressing machine built. The experimental device is mainly composed of upper and lower punches, molds, and hammers. The whole high-speed pressing process consists of three steps of powder filling, compaction and discharge. Before powder filling, the die walls were lubricated with zinc stearate dissolved in acetone to facilitate ejection of the compact. The Ti-6Al-4V powder with a mass of 4.0 g was poured into the mold cavity and sandwiched between the upper and lower molds. During compaction, a weight is released at a specific height and then impacts the upper punch to compress the powder. Impact energy density per unit mass E′ in the experiment m defined as:

Abstract

The invention relates to a three-dimensional multi-particle finite element simulation method for predicting high-speed pressing forming performance of metal powder, which comprises the following steps of: generating an initial random stacking model of three-dimensional spherical particles by using discrete element software, and extracting central coordinates and corresponding diameter data of the spherical particles; running a python script program in finite element software Abaqus, automatically completing modeling of spherical particle parts with different diameters, and generating an assembly; setting material attributes of the particles; each powder particle part is automatically divided into hexahedral structure grids with a reasonable number; setting and displaying dynamic analysis steps; setting boundary conditions; automatically setting contact attributes and contact pairs between metal powder balls and between the balls and the side wall of the mold; and solving, calculating and post-processing. According to the method, a large amount of complex finite element modeling work such as generation and assembly of a multi-particle part, grid division and contact setting is automatically completed, the modeling efficiency is greatly improved, the modeling correctness is guaranteed, the micro-mechanical characteristics of powder pressing are comprehensively analyzed, and the method is suitable for large-scale popularization and application. And the quantitative relation between the compact density and the impact energy per unit mass is accurately established, so that the purpose of predicting the high-speed pressing performance of the metal powder is achieved.
