REALISTIC SIMULATION NOT TRIAL & ERROR

Material Consulting

MatILDa® (Material Information Link and Database) is KOCKS’ material simulation platform for realistic modelling of material behaviour in forming processes and during heat treatment. It combines an extensive, experiment‑based material database with data‑driven models – including neural networks – to support development, process design and cost optimization in long product production.

MATERIAL BEHAVIOUR
AS A DESIGN PARAMETER

In modern rolling and heat treatment, understanding material behaviour is essential for reliable process design. MatILDa® supports this by most realistic simulation of material behaviour during forming and heat treatment.

Trust in calculations based on a large set of experimental data. Included are also data‑driven models, such as neural networks, that can estimate properties even for steels with deviating chemical composition

This enables engineers and metallurgists to evaluate concepts and parameter changes virtually before they reach the mill – reducing the need for extensive physical trials and accelerating development.

ALL RELEVANT MATERIAL DATA IN ONE OPEN SYSTEM

CENTRAL MATERIAL DATABASE
FOR FLEXIBLE INTEGRATION

MatILDa® contains an extensive collection of material data for a wide range of steels and alloys used in different application areas. A key strength is the open nature of the database.

Benefits

  • Users can integrate, create and manage their own material data sets
  • Data from lab tests or plant trials can be added and maintained
  • Program libraries for integration of material data and models

MatILDa®: Realistic material simulation and an open, extensible database that help you design better processes.

FROM MICROSTRUCTURE INSIGHT TO BETTER PRODUCTS

SIMULATION BENEFITS
AT A GLANCE

MatILDa® is designed to give users a practical toolbox for material‑related questions in process and product development:

  • Find all common steels and material alloys in one place
    Access a broad collection of steels and alloys for various application areas through a central database.
  • Conduct chemical analysis and property calculations
    Perform chemical analysis with individual modifications, calculate flow curves and determine physical properties based on available data.
  • Simulate microstructure transformations
    Use neural‑network‑based models to calculate microstructure transformations in steels and understand how process changes affect microstructure.
  • Exchange data comfortably via interfaces
    Utilize interfaces and program libraries for efficient data exchange and integration into existing software environments.
  • Develop, optimize and reduce costs through microstructure simulation
    Support alloy design, process optimization and cost reduction by linking material behaviour, microstructure evolution and mechanical properties.
