Through - Forgings and Ingot Non Destructive Testing (service using simulation software) - you will check if a forging part or ingot is free of macro segregation and the mechanical properties are homogeneous. Click here to learn more about the method we use.
Macro segregation non destructive testing module, based on the mechanism proposed by K.Suzuki and T.Miyamoto from Japan Steel Works Ltd. and developed by Industrial Soft is employed with solidification software SimCADE v.2.0 to check if your forging product or ingot is free of macro segregation.
The control analysis results will tell you if in a forging part made using an ingot with a particular size and geometry will be macro segregation or not.
Available upon request for an additional fee, the complete report about your forging part or ingot will contain:
influence of casting technology variables on macro segregation area size;
numerical analysis of mold design, ingot size and shape;
influence of steel composition on macro segregation area size.
More, the full report will help you to:
choose ingot size and shape (H/D ratio, ingot taper) in accordance with steel grade;
minimize fabrication cost by reducing the ferroalloys consumption;
establish a target chemical composition of the ingot;
optimize mold temperature, hot top size and pouring temperature.
The conclusion section of the report comes with practical recommendations and will help you to take better decisions, save time and energy, reduce materials consumption, avoid the macro segregation detected by ultrasonic test and increase homogeneity of mechanical properties.
If you are a forging part buyer or seller and have the manufacturing records of the ingot, this service will tell you if the semi-manufactured or forging product you want to buy or sell has homogeneous mechanical properties and is free of macro segregation or not.
