ABSTRACT Premature fatigue fractures in structural components are a major problem in the manufacturing industry. The challenge for modellers has been to deliver reliable fatigue-analysis tools, be

Abstract A computer model has been created to calculate the high temperature mechanical properties and density change of steels during solidification. Such calculations were based on accurate thermody

Abstract Distortion induced by heat treatment is a major industrial problem because it critically affects the dimensional accuracy of precision components. Prediction of distortion is difficult becaus

ABSTRACT The thermo-physical and physical properties of the liquid and solid phases are critical components in casting simulations. Such properties include the fraction solid transformed, enthalpy rel

Abstract A full set of physical and thermophysical properties for lead-free solder (LFS) alloys have been calculated, which include liquidus/solidus temperatures, fraction solid, density, coefficient

Many formulas have been developed to describe the mechanical properties of various microstruc-tures, but there have been relatively few attempts to combine such formulations directly withmulticomp

The effect of Fe and Mn contents on precipitation and sedimentation of primary α-Al(FeMn)Si phase in liquid Al-11.5Si-0.4Mg (wt%) alloy has been investigated at 600◦C in convection-free conditions. Al

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
