Metal Processing Module

When a material like steel or cast iron undergoes heating or cooling from an elevated temperature, metallurgical phase transformations may occur. The Metal Processing Module is an add-on product to the COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation software that helps you study how these phase transformations affect the mechanical and thermal properties of the materials. The module includes functionality for modeling phase transformations that are deliberate (such as in steel quenching and carburization) and introduced inadvertently (in additive manufacturing and welding, for example). The built-in multiphysics capabilities help you improve the performance of a component by optimizing the phase composition.
