Abstract
The direct current potential drop method (DCPD) has been applied to four differently shaped green bodies made of iron based powders. The density and porosity has been measured in the bodies and correlated with potential drop. When the porosity is well known, a good correlation between potential drop and porosity is found. By comparison with literature it is concluded that the potential drop in green bodies varies more with porosity than in sintered bodies.
