Flow stress data can be imported from raw test data (tensile, compression, torsion) or from integrated databases covering steels, aluminum, titanium, superalloys, and more.
Simulating chip formation and tool wear in milling, turning, and drilling. Deform Simulation Software
Optimizing multi-stage heading and cold-forming processes. Flow stress data can be imported from raw
Deform HT predicts:
Designing high-strength forged components like turbine blades or crankshafts. temperature rise | Forging load
| Process | What is simulated | Typical output | | --- | --- | --- | | Hot forging | Flash formation, die fill, temperature rise | Forging load, defect (lap, underfill), grain flow | | Cold heading | Multiple blow sequences, tool stress | Tool fatigue life, final geometry | | Rolling | Flat or shape rolling, spread, temperature | Roll force, torque, residual stresses | | Extrusion | Direct/indirect, porthole dies | Pressure, weld integrity, exit temperature | | Sintering | Powder compaction + heating | Density distribution, shrinkage, distortion | | Heat treatment | Quenching, tempering, carburizing | Hardness profile, residual stress, phase map |
Users can virtually "shim" the dies to compensate for predicted heat treat warp, saving thousands on post-process grinding.
