Virtual Testing of Alloy Modifications Before Production
In modern foundry and manufacturing, getting alloy composition right before a single gram of metal is melted can mean the difference between a flawless casting and a costly failure. PoligonCast leverages advanced casting simulation to make that precision possible.
The Challenge of Alloy Development
High Material & Energy Costs
Each alloy iteration requires metal, energy, laboratory testing, and production resources. Multiple development cycles rapidly increase overall project cost before a viable alloy is identified.
Long Development Cycles
Physical experimentation extends development timelines. Multiple casting runs and validation tests delay product commercialization and market entry.
Defects Found Too Late
Porosity, shrinkage, and other casting defects are often discovered only after production, resulting in costly redesigns and rework.
Simulate how elemental composition changes influence strength, hardness, and mechanical performance before physical casting.
Predict solidification behavior, metal flow, hot spots, and shrinkage porosity using high-fidelity digital models.
Detect and eliminate cracks, voids, misruns, shrinkage, and other casting defects entirely within the virtual environment.
Virtual testing empowers engineers to optimize alloy chemistry, validate thermal performance, and eliminate manufacturing defects before tooling or production begins. The result is faster development, lower costs, and significantly higher first-pass casting quality.

Key Benefits for Foundries & Manufacturers
Reduced Scrap & Rework
Faster Time-to-Market
From Experimentation to Optimization
High-performance alloys used in turbine blades, structural components, and mission-critical systems require rigorous validation. Simulation enables zero-defect development by predicting material behavior before production begins.
Lightweight alloy optimization supports engine blocks, transmission housings, suspension systems, and EV components. Simulation helps balance strength, weight reduction, durability, and manufacturing efficiency.
Mining, energy, and construction equipment manufacturers depend on durable alloy formulations capable of handling extreme loads, wear conditions, and harsh operating environments. Simulation accelerates the development of reliable cast components.
Across aerospace, automotive, and heavy industry, simulation-driven alloy development reduces testing cycles, improves material performance, lowers development costs, and accelerates the path from concept to production.
