Simulazione e ottimizzazione dei processi metallurgici

Magma

MAGMA è un prodotto MAGMA GmbH

MAGMASOFT® è uno strumento di ottimizzazione completo ed efficace per migliorare la qualità della lavorazione dei metalli, ottimizzare le condizioni di processo e ridurre i costi di produzione. Utilizzando le metodologie "Virtual Design Experiments" e "Autonomous Optimization", è possibile stabilire parametri di processo affidabili e layout di fusione ottimizzati per tutti i materiali e processi di fusione, in modo efficiente e completo allo stesso tempo.

Attraverso l’Ottimizzazione automatica, le simulazioni con MAGMASOFT possono essere pianificate automaticamente per perseguire contemporaneamente obiettivi diversi di qualità e costo.

Questa soluzione software permette di simulare/ottimizzare l’intero processo di colata (riempimento, solidificazione e raffreddamento dentro e fuori lo stampo), comprendendo inoltre la fase di lavorazione meccanica (separazione dei componenti dai sistemi di colata e lavorazione dei sovrametalli) e di trattamento termico finale. La simulazione di processo può essere applicata con successo analizzando in dettaglio i risultati e i parametri di ogni tipologia di processo tramite i moduli dedicati, che consentono l'ottimizzazione delle fasi di riempimento e solidificazione con una affidabile previsione dei difetti e l'analisi termica degli stampi.

La sua applicazione si estende infine all'analisi delle tensioni residue (cricche a caldo, cricche a freddo, deformazioni) tipiche di ogni processo produttivo rivolta sia ai getti che agli stampi.
