Project Description

Objectives:

  • Decrease number of failures during production process and increase the dimensional accuracy.

M2i Project:

  • Improve the applied material model present in numerical simulations, by accounting for phase transformations occurring during deformation.

Industrial Benefits:

  • Time to market reduced by 50%.
  • After-treatment can now be avoided, saving millions per year.
  • Material efficiency went up from 25% to 80%, saving millions per year.
  • Support for development and application of improved stainless steels.
