Abstract

AZO (Aluminum doped Zinc Oxide) is widely used to produce transparent conductive coatings for liquid crystal displays, flat panel displays, plasma displays, touch panels, and electronic ink applications. The densification behavior of AZO powder is a critical factor related to the design of the compaction process. In this study, the densification behavior of AZO powder during cold compaction has been investigated in order to calibrate the modified Drucker-Prager Cap (DPC) model for FE simulations. A compaction test with a cylindrical die was carried out, and two failure tests were performed: the diameteral compression test and the uniaxial compression test. AZO compacts with various densities from the compact tests were used as specimens for the failure tests. Based on the experimental results, the parameters of the modified DPC model were determined through simple manipulations.
