abstract = {In this paper, a phenomenological model to predict the value of the electrical resistance of a
compressed metal powder mass is proposed. The model, based on the experimental compressibility
and resistivity-porosity curves, is useful in the field of the electrical resistance consolidation. In this
area is often required to find out whether a certain mass of powder inside a die of specified inner
section, and subjected to a certain compression, reaches a sufficiently small resistance value so that it
can be consolidated by electrical means. The model also predicts the electrical resistance value of
the powder mass in case of powders with no oxide layers, or after removing them mechanically or
electrically by a previous activation process. The model predictions have been successfully validated
through direct measurements of electrical resistance in powder aggregates both in as-received state
and after electrical activation.},
