Casting process simulation with MAGMA 5: Optimisation from design to production

Through the new possibility of casting process simulation with the MAGMA 5 software, we are able to provide targeted optimised support for your casting from design to production in order to keep the production risks as low as possible.

In non-ferrous casting this means:

A practical and detailed diagram with all process steps

Faster laying out of the gate, running dimensioning and ventilation, of feeders and chills

Optimisation of mould filling through controlled casting

Reduction of quality costs through the avoidance of casting defects from cold runs, turbulence, oxides and slag, air inclusions, gas porosity and cavities.

Reduction of production risks through the assessment of the casting quality on aspects such as the melting practice, metallurgy and alloy composition.

Reduction of the cycle times through the optimisation of cooling circuits

Reduction in tool costs by assessing the effects of a tool’s design on its service life

Reduction of the start-up costs by reducing the need for changing casting technology or manufacturing conditions

Avoidance of target costs by adapting cooling conditions, chilling, separating the casting system and heat treatment
