GIFA 2023 - 15th International Foundry Trade Fair with Technical Forum | ESI Group

With  ProCAST, ESI’s proven casting simulation software, one can predict, analyze, measure, and quantify most of the casting defects in the early development stages and hence take corrective actions. 
 
We welcome you for a demo session, to experience and learn about additional functionalities such as:

• Dedicated porosity models - To consider the effect of different alloys and processes on porosity, be it the expansion in a cast iron or intensification /holding pressure in Die Castings, or the effect of undissolved gases on the formation of micro/gas porosity
• Residual stress & distortion - To comprehensively track the evolution of stresses through the different stages of the casting process, influencing the final part dimensions as well as the tool life
• Microstructure & heat treatment - Predict the as-cast microstructure evolution through solidification & cooling and hence determine mechanical properties. Can be extended to analyze the effect of heat treatment
• Grain structure - Compute required grain structure (DS, SX,…) by controlling casting process conditions to achieve desired part performance. ProCAST CAFE module couples Cellular Automation (CA) with finite Element (FE) heat flow computations.
• Process optimization - Identify the sensitivity of the most influential process variables to arrive at an optimized set of process variables such as casting temperature, pouring rate, etc. And finally evaluate the operating process window, to account for process variations, which are given on the shop floor.
