Microstructure features like precipitates distributions, dislocation density, grain/subgrain sizes, as well as vacancy concentration are decisive for the material properties. Capability of microstructure evolution modeling gives us a great advantage in understanding, planning and optimizing of the process parameters.
Instead of a bunch of independent models, we succeed to develop a coupled framework considering the mutual interactions of the microstructure elements and as a consequence a solution for the microstructure evolution simulations.
With our available modeling technique, the microstructure parameters of different materials can be calculated during and/or after various thermomechanical operations, such as rolling, extrusion and forging.
Typical application examples:
