END-TO-END SIMULATION OF CASTING AND METAL-FORMING OPERATIONS WITH ProCAST AND QForm SOFTWARE

摘要

This article presents an example of the end-to-end simulation of the casting of a steel ingot in an ingot mold and solid forging of the ingot. The simulation is performed using the software products ProCAST (ESIGroup, France) and QForm (Quantor Form, Russia). The formulation and solution of problems is examined and data are obtained on the temperature field and shrinkage defects of the ingot. The effects of these factors on the metal-forming operation are taken into account in the solution of the problems.
