Microstructure & Heat treatment
As-Cast and after Heat Treatment Microstructure Modeling & Mechanical Properties Determination
The formation of microstructures associated with solid state phase transformation during cooling or heat treatment can also be simulated with ProCAST using models based on Time-Temperature-Transformation (TTT) or Continuous Cooling- Transformation (CCT) diagrams. Mechanical properties can then be determined from the calculated microstructure.
Originally developed by Rio Tinto Alcan, a heat treatment advisor calculates the mechanical properties (YTS, UTS, E% and HB) in the whole range from T4 through T6 and T7 based on Mg variation and aging parameters for the most commonly poured aluminum A356/357.
