Due to the bad plastic workability, silver based brazing filler metals with high proportions of additional elements such as Zn, Sn, In, Ga, are very brittle and difficult to be made into thin sheets using conventional manufacturing processes. A novel process method that combine powder compaction and sintering, can fabricate thin sheets of the fragile silver based filler metals. In this work, the densification mechanism of Ag57.6-Cu22.4-Sn10-In10 (wt.%) mixed metal powders was investigated, and a modified density-dependent Drucker-Prager Cap (DPC) model was introduced to describe its compaction behavior based on the equivalent density method. The powder compact was considered as a continuum, and a linear elasticity law as a function of relative density was then used to express the elastic behavior of the powders. An instrumented die with force transducers has been designed to determine the material parameters of the modified DPC model. The elastic and plastic material parameters such as E, υ, β, d, pa, R and pb were then determined experimentally. The friction coefficient between the powders and the die wall with a lubricated die was determined based on the Janssen–Walker theory in the instrumented die experiments. Furthermore, the modified DPC model with the linear elasticity law was validated using finite element simulation method in ABAQUS with a user subroutine (USDFLD). A good agreement between the simulations and experimental results was obtained, indicating the feasibility and applicability of the introduced modified models to describe the die compaction behavior of the mixed metal powders.
