Abstract

The use of various types of software for rapid identification of potential problems in manufacturing processes is becoming ever more popular. One of such programs is DEFORM, simulation software for forming and heat treatment processes. The purpose of this study was to construct a 3D model of a specific casting, to identify its critical locations and then select the optimum heat treatment procedure preventing cracking. Results of this work include a detailed analysis of stress and temperature fields in the cast part.
