Description

Cold forming tools experience significant mechanical and tribological stresses throughout their operational lifespan, which in some instances can result in premature damage to the tools. Given that these tools constitute a substantial portion of the manufacturing costs for components, it is crucial to proactively address potential issues during the design phase. The COLDFORM® software offers the ability to assess the mechanical strength of dies, thereby enhancing their longevity. It calculates stress distribution within the die, as well as monitoring deformations, wear, temperature variations, and any damage that may occur throughout the process. Furthermore, COLDFORM® can perform quick analyses by applying the stresses derived from the forming process to the tools. Additionally, the software supports coupled part/tool simulations, yielding highly accurate outcomes. With features focused on pre-stressed dies, it allows for precise assessment of the required pre-stressing for the interference fit of the tools. This capability ultimately aids manufacturers in optimizing tool performance and reducing costs associated with tool replacements.

Description

The initial off-tool components you received have finally arrived, but they come with the unfortunate realization of pinholes, shrinkage, or hot spots. Faced with an impending deadline, you find yourself at a crossroads: to either ship these flawed parts and risk disappointing your customer or return to the design phase to pinpoint and rectify the issue, hoping that the revisions will yield a flawless result. Additionally, since the trial phase of your casting development is often underestimated, ensuring that your gating design can withstand process variations before reaching the testing stage becomes crucial. Thankfully, with ESI ProCAST, you can achieve a successful casting outcome on your first attempt consistently—allowing you to meet deadlines without incurring costs from scrap parts or unnecessary redesigns. For many years, clients have turned to ProCAST as their essential resource for mastering the fundamentals of casting, such as filling, solidification, and porosity predictions. Moreover, its advanced finite element technology extends to forecasting complex challenges, including deformations and residual stresses, thus enhancing your overall production efficiency. As a result, utilizing ProCAST not only streamlines the casting process but also bolsters your reputation for quality and reliability in the market.
