The Brain of the Foundry: Developing the Roadmap for Perfect Castings

Turning Obsolete Parts into Modern Solutions

The Design and Technology Department serves as the strategic center of Tabarestan Steel Foundry (TSF), responsible for the comprehensive development of manufacturing protocols. This unit is tasked with defining the precise modeling, casting, and heat treatment technologies required for every component we produce. By bridging the gap between theoretical design and physical production, this department ensures that the metallurgical integrity of every part is established before the metal is even melted.

Advanced Simulation and Virtual Casting

One of the department’s defining strengths is its mastery of advanced simulation software. We employ a "virtual foundry" approach to predict how molten metal will behave during the casting process. To achieve this, we utilize the industry’s most powerful simulation platforms:

  • Magma
  • ProCAST
  • SUTCAST

The Simulation Advantage: Prior to the production of any prototype, the casting technology for each component undergoes a rigorous process of design, simulation, and analysis.

  • Fluid Dynamics: We analyze filling moulds to prevent turbulence and erosion.
  • Solidification Analysis: We predict cooling rates to identify potential hot spots.
  • Defect Elimination: By virtually testing the design, we can detect and eliminate potential casting defects—such as shrinkage, porosity, or cold shuts—in the digital realm, ensuring the final physical product is flawless.

Prototyping Under Strict Supervision

Innovation requires precision. Therefore, all prototype casting operations are carried out under the direct and constant supervision of the Design and Technology unit.

This hands-on approach ensures that the simulated parameters are perfectly replicated in the real-world foundry environment. By strictly monitoring the initial casting trials, our engineers can validate the technology, fine-tune the heat treatment cycles, and guarantee the accuracy of the final component, ensuring a "right-first-time" result for our clients.
