a b s t r a c t This paper reviews the recent developments in material property modelling and its applications in processing simulation. Many material properties needed by process simulation can now b

SUMMARY Process simulation requires accurate and reliable data for a wide variety of material properties, ranging from thermal conductivity to flow stress curves. Traditionally such data are gathered

Abstract Work is being undertaken at Thermotech on the development of a new multi-platform software programme called JMatPro for predicting a wide range of Materials Properties. These properties inclu

Abstract The present paper provides details on the development of models for calculating the material properties of Ni-based superalloys and makes extensive comparison of calculated results against ex

Abstract At high temperatures, and when subjected to mid-range temperatures for long times, superalloys can reach states which approach equilibrium. Knowledge of stable phase structure at fabrication

Abstract At the last two Superalloy meetings at Seven Springs, work on the development of thermodynamic modelling tools for application to multi-component Ni-based superalloys has been presented. Such

Abstract The thermo-physical and physical properties of the liquid and solid phases are critical components in the modelling of casting simulations. Such properties include the fraction solid transfor

Abstract Over the past decade thermodynamic models have become increasingly used for Ni- and NiFe-based superalloys. However, their applicability often falls short from directly providing the informat

A computer-based technique for predicting time-temperature transformation and continuous cooling transformation diagrams is making it possible to calculate the effects of different heat treatment regi

ABSTRACT Casting simulation requires accurate and reliable material property data, including the fraction solid transformed, specific heat capacity, thermal conductivity and density, all of which as a
