#MAGMASOFT METALLURGY AND CHEMISTRY SOFTWARE#
Temperature distribution in the melt during pouringĪ modular software design covers the complete process chain of cast components. The range of results comprises residual stresses and distortion, microstructure formation and local properties. Broad knowledge and tangible hands-on instructions/measures are generated considering design and process conditions for mold filling, solidification and cooling. Consequently utilizing the methodology of virtual Design of Experiments and Autonomous Optimization, robust process parameters and optimized casting layouts can be established for all cast materials and processes including heat treatment and melt metallurgy – efficiently and comprehensively at the same time.īy means of Autonomous Engineering™, simulations with MAGMASOFT ® can be used in an automated virtual test plan to pursue different quality and cost objectives simultaneously. MAGMASOFT ® is the comprehensive and effective optimization tool for improving metalcasting quality, optimizing process conditions and reducing production costs. Thus, the interactions between the inflowing melt, the solidified shell of the strand and the mold can be judged. MAGMA CC includes the calculation of flow, solidification and stresses, taking into account primary and secondary cooling. With the help of virtual Design of Experiments and autonomous optimization, the process and product-specific limits of the relevant process variables are determined for a safe production of high quality products. The program can be used to improve product quality before start of production as well as for continuous improvement during production. MAGMA CC can be used for the casting of copper and copper alloys, aluminum alloys and steel.

Further cooling of the strand takes place in the so-called secondary cooling zone. The primary cooling in the mold is of decisive importance for the formation of a stable solidified shell. In the start-up phase, a starting ingot is positioned in the mold, and after reaching the desired filling level, the starting ingot is removed and the metal inflow adjusted accordingly. At the same rate, metal is withdrawn from the mold, where the presence of a stable solidified shell at the end of the mold needs to be assured. Liquid metal is introduced into a short, intensively cooled mold, which may include graphite inserts, from a tundish or launder. The continuous casting process is of crucial importance for the manufacture of semi-finished products.
