DEFORM™ — process simulation for forming, heat treatment and microstructure.

DEFORM, developed by Scientific Forming Technologies Corporation (SFTC, Columbus, Ohio), is used by forge shops, heat treaters and aerospace OEMs worldwide. We sell, implement and support it in Poland, Ukraine and the Baltic states.

Why DEFORM

Built around metal processing, not adapted to it.

DEFORM was designed from the start for large-deformation forming and heat treatment: automatic remeshing that survives extreme strain, coupled thermal–mechanical–metallurgical solving and dedicated templates for real shop-floor processes.

The same model can follow a part from billet heating through forging, heat treatment and machining — so residual stress, grain size and distortion are predicted as a result of the whole route, not one step in isolation.

Forging, extrusion, drawing, rolling, ring rolling, cogging, spinning and flowforming
Carburizing, quenching, induction hardening, tempering and ageing
Recrystallization, grain growth and phase transformation
Die stress, die wear and press interaction
Machining distortion and cutting simulation
Multi-operation process chains, DOE and optimization
