Computer Assisted Metallurgy (CAM) is developed and used by both Alcan and Arcelor to predict material properties, optimize processing and accelerate the development of new innovative solutions. These CAM codes describe the microstructure evolution of an alloy from solidification to the final step of the transformation schedule and predict usage properties from the simulated end product microstructure. The accuracy of the predictions requires a reliable laboratory or plant experimental database and robust physical laws.
