Abstract: Suitable compaction pressure of metal alloy powders is crucial in providing raw material with the required characteristics for post-processing. The densification phenomenon is controlled by the intensity of the compaction, which affects the mechanical resistance of the compacted. Thus, the limit load of a die was determined based on the interpolation of results of stress obtained via simulations in the finite element method keeping the discretization strategy. The interpolated function can also be used to determine von Mises stress of a known applied pressure. The simulations were conducted via the finite element method inputting the limit load obtained via interpolation function and presented a relative error of 8.5 x 10-4%. This result addresses that, instead of being determined by trial-and-error approach, the limit load of the die could be obtained via the combination of few simulations and the calculation of an interpolation function.
