Process models require a substantial amount of input data to describe the time and temperature dependent evolution of material properties. The quality of this material property data is of paramount importance for producing accurate model results. Given its specialized nature, material suppliers typically have not developed, or do not share, the type and quality of data required for process modelling. Furthermore, public domain data of this type is limited only to the most widely used material systems, e.g. AS4 / 8552.

For these reasons many of our clients choose to have a material characterized by Convergent, specifically for use in process models. We have expertize in a host of test methods including DSC, DMA as well as other more specialized characterization tests. More importantly we have the know-how to reduce the experimental data into a form suitable for use in a process model.
