The relation between pressing energy and green strength is examined experimentally and numerically using a commercially available design of experiment (DOE) software, at compaction of five hard metal powder materials. This is of substantial practical importance, in particular at pressing of complicated geometries when high values on the green strength is necessary. The compaction energy is here experimentally determined at uniaxial compaction of a cylindrical die, filled with powder material, by measuring punch force and compression. The corresponding measurements of the resulting green strength are performed using standard three-point bend (3PB) testing. The statistical analysis of the results shows that the relation between the two properties, pressing energy and green strength, is very close to a linear fit with the coefficient of determination  R  2  taking on the value 0.92. This suggests that the pressing energy is an important quantity for reaching a target value on the green strength and the linear relation is certainly convenient in particular when compaction of similar materials is at issue. In parallel with the experimental work finite element calculations are performed in order to evaluate the effect from friction between the powder and the die wall, and it was found that this feature has a limited effect on the pressing energy when similar materials are at issue and is not detrimental for the usefulness of the present correlation approach.
