Abstract
Powder metallurgy, the process of compacting powders and then heating and sintering them, has recently been attracting new
attention in the field of practical materials such as metals and ceramics. This paper introduces examples of research on MD, MC,
FEM, and DEM, which are expected to be applied in the future, as simulation methods for powder metallurgy compacting and
sintering processes, and describes future developments in simulation. Simulation-based support technology will become more
important in the future when the development of new powder metallurgical components requires complex control of many factors
related to the manufacturing process, or when experimental inspection methods are difficult to apply.
