Who of you knows literature in which the casting and/or rolling processes were simulated and compared with the properties actually achieved. This preferably for raw material with large dimensions and for aluminum alloys or titanium alloys.
HI André Seidel
Around 15 years ago I utilised a software package called MagmaSoft. I am not sure if they still exist but the package simulated the casting process. You could design the models with risers, runners, etc state the molten metal flow rate, temperature, etc then it would simulate the process.
Actually, I have just looked and they are still about. If you check out the links below, you can see some of their publications and case studies, which will hopefully be of some use to you.
Best Regards

Dear Martin McKie,
Thank you for your reply. I'll take a close look at the software package and the literature linked to it.
Regardless, I'd like to clarify my question. I am looking for published research papers at the interface of simulation and experimental investigation/verification for the alloys mentioned. This preferably taking into account the entire thermomechanical process chain (beyond primary shaping). The characterization should include, for example, microstructure, (grading of) mechanical properties, residual stresses. If anyone here has a reference to the literature for the alloys mentioned, I would be very grateful.
With best regards,
André
