(a) Variation of relative density and equivalent von Mises stresses with the pressure during compaction on TiC-316L composite powders with different initial packing structures when TiC% = 10 wt.% and R316L/RTiC = 1; (b) morphologies of initial packings with different relative densities (case I: ρ = 0.7297; case II: ρ = 0.7653) and the morphologies of both final compacts.
