Solidification isotherms - Axial porosity map - Segregation distribution

Through ingot solidification analysis we check if the ingot size, shape and the chemical composition of your steel allows to get a forging product free of segregations and so, a homogeneous mechanical properties.


The segregations analysis is based on the mechanism proposed by K.Suzuki and T.Miyamoto from Japan Steel Works Ltd. and developed by Industrial Soft, is employed with solidification software SimCADE v.2.0 in this software analysis.


The pdf file report about your ingot will contain:

  • total solidification time of your ingot;
  • segregation area ratio and its intensity at the middle of the ingot;
  • position of the segregation area on the transversal section of the ingot.

  • The solidification analysis report of will help you to:

  • optimize ingot size and shape (H/D ratio, ingot taper) in accordance with steel grade;
  • minimize fabrication cost by reducing the ferroalloys consumption;
  • establish a target chemical composition of the ingot;
  • optimize mold temperature, hot top size and pouring temperature.

  • The conclusion section comes with practical recomandations that will help you to take better decisions, save time and energy, reduce materials consumption, minimize the A-segregations detected by ultrasonic test and increase homogeneity of mechanical properties.


    If you are a forging parts buyer and have the manufacturing records of the ingot, this service will give you tools to negociate the price of the part you want to acquire. More, this service will tell you if the semi-manufactured or forging product you want to buy has homogeneous mechanical properties and is free of A-segregations or not.
