Software For Continuous Casting Process Simulation, Calcosoft

Description: Software For Continuous Casting Process Simulation, Calcosoft is used at the design stage. It decreases the process development time and helps to define the optimum process window. The simulation provides an in-depth understanding of the influence of the interacting process conditions allowing a safe and cost effective processing window to be defined; it assesses & optimises the process quality. The chemical composition, phase distribution, grain structure and potential defects such as cracks and pores of the processed material can be predicted. The results of the simulation can be used to increase the overall product quality. It is impossible to test each configuration under practice, simulation allows engineers to quickly check the influence of each parameter. In the same way, process parameters can be adapted for the processing of modified or new alloys. The design of the new mould, the selection of the casting speed & associated cycle and the layout of the cooling system can be optimised with Calcosoft preventing expensive engineering changes. ESI Group's Calcosoft provides a complete software solution for continuous and semi-continuous casting process simulation.
