Solidification & Porosity Analysis
Predict Internal Defects Before They Impact Production
Analyze solidification behavior, identify shrinkage and porosity, and optimize feeding systems to manufacture high-quality castings with confidence.
What is Solidification & Porosity Analysis?
The cooling and solidification stage is one of the most critical phases in the casting process. As molten metal transforms into a solid, variations in temperature, cooling rate, and feeding conditions can lead to defects such as shrinkage cavities and porosity that directly affect the strength, reliability, and performance of the final component.
PoligonSoft’s Solidification & Porosity Analysis Module enables engineers to accurately simulate the solidification process before production begins. By visualizing how the metal cools and solidifies, the software helps identify defect-prone areas, optimize feeding systems, and improve casting quality while reducing production risks.
Why Solidification Analysis?
Many casting defects develop during solidification and remain hidden until machining, inspection, or product testing. Identifying these issues after production often results in rejected components, increased manufacturing costs, and unnecessary delays.
With PoligonSoft, engineers can predict the behavior of molten metal throughout the solidification cycle, allowing them to optimize riser placement, cooling conditions, and casting design before manufacturing begins. This proactive approach helps improve product quality while reducing costly trial-and-error development.
