Abstract
ASM Data Ecosystem provides a custom and secure workspace with the computational power required to run advanced simulations including machine learning, process and product optimization, and materials design, to tackle tough problems quickly with minimal investment.
 
This presentation will focus on a carburizing heat treatment process with complexities that make optimization of the entire cycle daunting. Utilizing Simulations & Analytical Tools within the ASM Data Ecosystem, we will demonstrate how to optimize, and minimize total carburizing cycle-times to reduce process costs.
During this webinar, attendees gain valuable insights to:

• Process simulation tools like DANTE Solutions, are well suited for 1 or 2 variable optimization, but are not well suited for visualizing highly complex, multi-dimensional situations.  
• Advanced analytical platforms like SmartUQ allow for creation of powerful machine learning models that simplify informed decision making in the face ofhighly complex process and materials options, with variation, or uncertainty,incorporated into the decision-making process.
• The interoperability of DANTE Solutions Gcarb software and the SmartUQ machine learning and uncertainty quantification platform.
