Abstract:

Although key words like digital twin, digitalization, big data etc. are dominating our ideas for the future world of manufacturing there is still the demand for particular determination of real material parameters. Simulation of Powder Injection Moulding (PIM) makes no exception, however, due to the high degree of particle filling even marginal changes of the initial values may lead to thorough differences of the results. It could be demonstrated that accidently irrelevant improvements in pvt-data determination resulted in significantly higher accurate predictions. The influence of Bagley-correction as usually applied for polymer material characterization does not lead to better simulation reliability in case of highly filled PIM feedstocks.
