For many castings the heat treatment process is a decisive part to establish the required casting performance.

Steel casting

Most steel castings receive their structure and mechanical properties through a proper heat treatment. MAGMAsteel offers comprehensive functionality to predict the distribution of microstructures and related mechanical properties as a function of the composition, the conditions during solution treatment, quenching and annealing.

Cast Iron

Residual stresses play a growing role for the performance of cast iron components. MAGMA develops software tools to predict the stress relief as a function of the applied process conditions.

Aluminum Castings

Many non-ferrous high integrity components undergo a comprehensive heat treatment to establish the required strength or ductility. T6 treatment creates the required properties, but also imposes substantial residual stresses into the casting as a function of the quenching and annealing conditions. MAGMAstress allows predicting the casting stresses during heat treatment. New developments in micro modeling consider diffusion and phase formation as a function of the applied thermal process.
