Abstract
A review of the mechanical property data needed for the process simulation of cold pressing was conducted. The material property data for the newly developed low-cost commercially pure titanium, CP-Ti, powders made by Armstrong process was presented. The following data was obtained from mechanical testing: Youngs modulus, bulk modulus, failure line for the plasticity model. The Youngs modulus and bulk modulus were obtained from the uniaxial compression tests of a cylinder. The failure line for the plasticity model was obtained from failure compression tests. Materials testing software was written to provide automatic test control and data acquisition during material testing, such as axial displacement, axial stress, radial strain, and failure stress.
