Solidification and Casting Simulation

Solidification controls microstructure, defect formation, segregation, feeding behaviour, and final casting performance. CyberAlloys helps customers understand and optimise casting processes by combining solidification modelling, CALPHAD calculations, microstructural analysis, and industrial process knowledge.

• Prediction of solidification range, phase formation, intermetallic formation, and segregation tendencies.
• Assessment of casting defects such as porosity, hot tearing sensitivity, shrinkage, oxide-related defects, and inclusions.
• Evaluation of cooling rate, grain refinement, melt treatment, die design, and heat-extraction effects.
• Support for LPDC, HPDC, gravity casting, permanent mould casting, and billet casting problems.
• Interpretation of simulation outputs together with metallography, chemistry, density index, and mechanical testing data.
