Simulation of Heat-Treatment

With the heat treatment, materials properties
can be specifically set by utilizing structural changes.
The simulation allows you to analyze whether this property change takes place as desired. The heat treatment simulation provides information about:

carburisation depth
microstructure distribution
component distortion

The heat treatment simulation is applicable to all processes such as:

blind hardening
case hardening
induction hardening
vacuum hardening

The heat treatment simulation covers all process steps such as
heating - carburising - quenching - tempering.

An important industrial application of the heat treatment simulation lies in the geometrical design of the components for limiting the thermal distortion.

A heat treatment simulation can also be coupled with the welding simulation:

stress relieve annealing after welding
welding on heat treated parts
