Wax Injection (for wax patterns) is very similar to the HPDC process, however, the registered pressure inside of the cavity while filling is much lower.
This is caused by the much different properties of wax compared to any metal alloy material.
When modelling wax injection, the user should pay special attention to:
- The material properties (Non-Newtonian fluid model)
- Pre-processing (process conditions)
- Simulation Parameters to adapt the solver to the different behavior of this kind of materials.
