Casting process simulation |
Cutting cost and reducing design time are two critical factors in the die casting industry. At Techmire, our casting process simulation helps achieving these goals. Techmire uses MagmasoftR to test and validate design concepts by: flow simulation, heat transfer and solidification simulation and stress analysis. It is a comprehensive simulation tool for the technology and the quality focused production. Mold flow simulation with Techmire's casting process simulation is a proactive solution.
Simulations of the injected liquid
In casting process simulation, simulations of the injected liquid metal flow behavior help to predict parameters such as oxide marks, cold shots, misfills, high turbulence zones, runners and location and size of gates. Casting process simulation allows to foresee and to prevent potential mold design problems instead of encountering them only during testing implying delivery delays and additional costs.
Heat transfer and solidification simulation
Using casting process simulation helps you to avoid gating and feeding problems. Modeling heat transfer and solidification patterns leads to findings such as hot spot locations, shrinkage prediction, and optimal cooling channels positions. This analysis permits the validation of process parameters and heat balancing. Techmire's casting process simulation provides a complete solution for quality and lower costs.
Stress analysis
With casting process simulation, analyzing stress levels occurring during and after the injection provides information on final part/mold deformation after solidification, stresses and hot tears prediction. Thoses results can be further used as initial conditions for conventional stress analysis using the FE method. Information provided during casting process simulation is useful to increase the mold life expectancy and to minimize risk of in-service failure on the long term.
Results
Using casting process simulation early in the development cycle leads to higher quality casting, but also shorter development time by minimizing traditional trials and errors. Casting process simulation also provides more feasible design to determine the limitations of the casting process.
