“…As explained in previous sections, the friction coefficient at powder-tool interfaces is a function of various physical and material parameters, and is nonlinear in nature. Generally, for simulation analysis of metal powder compaction, an average friction coefficient value is employed [23,43,45,48,49,50,70,88,90,101,102,112,129]. The typical recommended friction coefficient value for simulation of iron-based powder compaction is 0.1 [27,90,111].…”
