Better performance, less material

Article Abstract:

Lanxess' new polyamide 6 (PA 6) Durethan BKV 30 EF (Easy Flow) has a 50% higher flowability without adversely affecting the elasticity modulus, stiffness, elongation at break or flow line strength. Lanxess used topology optimization software to ascertain the best position for the polyamide ribs to ensure optimum component stiffness and has also developed a new evaluation procedure with which material data from high speed trials can be defined for crash simulations.
