Anticipate the presence of defects

FORGE® software has unique features such as point tracking to easily detect any cold-shut areas in the part and to predict metal fibering which is essential to ensure that forgings possess good mechanical properties. Innovative marking techniques allow to materialize the segregations located in the center of the billet or to identify flow-through defects. 

FORGE® incorporates several damage criteria that can be enabled to detect critical areas on the part.

Forging tools and equipment

durée de vie outil FORGE

Tool life is a major challenge for which FORGE® predicts stresses, abrasive wear, temperatures and also areas subject to elastic or plastic deformation.

FORGE® predicts forging loads, energies consumed,torques and powers developed during each deformation operation. Then you can anticipate whether the effort required does not exceed the maximum capacity of your equipment, balance forging loads between the different stages and view die balancing and deflection problems.

Optimizing material savings

Transvalor has been the first software provider to promote the concept of automatic optimization applied to material forming processes. Optimizing the starting billets to automatically improve yield or determining the ideal rolled preforms to ensure complete and defect-free die filling. Applied to forged components, automatic optimization allows the reduction of material costs by decreasing initial billet weight, do savings on energy cost by decreasing press load and extend die life by minimizing stress levels in the dies.
