Improving metal forming processes
Metallurgical processes involve significant thermal and mechanical constraints that directly affect the quality of manufactured parts, production rates, and energy consumption. Numerical simulation is a powerful design support tool that makes it possible to analyze these phenomena before implementing any changes to the process.
Examples of applications
SIMTEC’s expertise has been applied in particular to:
- optimize the efficiency of a continuous casting line;
- increase extrusion speed while ensuring product quality;
- reduce mechanical deformation during the production of shot.
These studies help identify the most influential process parameters, compare different configurations, and validate design choices before industrial implementation.
From continuous casting to extrusion, numerical simulation is a powerful lever for improving metallurgical processes.
