In R&D as in industries, it becomes necessary to control metallurgical properties of the materials used to form parts with high performance mechanical properties.
During forging or heat treatment processes, predict metal alloys microstructure evolution, in other word grain size and other phenomena, is a very competitive advantage. To predict these phenomena, simulation becomes an essential tool.
Transvalor offers its DIGIMU® software to simulate microstructural evolutions of metal alloys on a macro or mesoscopic scale, from the thermomechanical path undergone during the metal forming or the heat treatment.
Microstructural evolution simulation allows you to add value to your processes and products.
For now, there is no unique simulation solution that satisfy immediately all industrial inquiries.
A model rather based on physical laws could be both more expensive to identify and more onerous on computation time. However, once identified, its identification field will be more important. On the other hand, a model rather based on phenomena, will be able to respond to certain problematics more quickly and for a computation less onerous, but only if we remain in a very limited field of application. It is therefore necessary, in order to take the best out of current tools, to be able to move between the different scales according to your needs.
Then, Transvalor has decided to offer you three levels of modeling within its software DIGIMU®, presented here in an increasing level of precision:
