With MAGMAstress you can simulate how castings distort as they cool to ambient temperatures. With this tool, a skilled user can predict distortion and design patterns that mitigate or compensate for thermal effects. Below is a comparison of the same casting with two different gating systems. Which gating system is tying down distortion and which is making it worse? Learn more here: www.magmasoft.com

Which rack design should I use? It’s common for structural castings to undergo heat treatment. During the long process, casting stresses are relieved & the component suffers distortion due to creep. Different support structures lead to differences in distortions because of how the casting relaxes in the structure. In this example, the shock tower is placed in 2 rack designs. The resulting deviation is different depending on the structure used. With MAGMASOFT®, engineers can predict the distortion & design a structure that will guarantee proper mounting.

The temperature during the solidification process shows when the material in the hidden regions is fully solidified. Analyzing the solidification of the casting allows us to identify regions at risk of shrink porosity and determine how long intensification pressure can be maintained.

This video shows the absence of melt within the casting during the filling process. This is important because the air pressure results help confirm the absence of melt in specific regions. These findings are critical for determining proper overflow placement, as well as for identifying areas that may be at risk of gas porosity.

The temperature during the dosing and filling process.🌡️ Controlling thermals during filling is essential to ensure strong material properties and proper filling. Temperature control directly impacts quality and overall performance, making it a critical factor in achieving reliable results.
