Knowledge

In this section, Matplus explains key topics around materials data in a compact and practical way: what they mean, why they matter for engineering, quality and simulation, and how they can be implemented in practice.

CCT and TTT Diagrams: Understanding and Reading Transformation Diagrams

What CCT and TTT diagrams show, how continuous and isothermal diagrams differ, how to read them and where their limits lie.

Digital Product Passport: ESPR, Timeline and Materials Data

What the Digital Product Passport under the Ecodesign Regulation is, which timeline is officially set and what role materials data, PCF and inspection certificates play.

Materials Data Management: Basics, Requirements and Implementation

What materials data management is, why it matters for quality, simulation and traceability, and how it connects with PLM, ERP and CAE.

Materials Database: Types, Selection Criteria and Data Quality

What a materials database is, which types of materials data exist, how to choose a database and how to recognize data quality and provenance.

Materials Simulation: Methods, Applications and Limits

What materials simulation is, which methods exist, what it is used for in development and CAE, and where its limits lie.

Steel Material Numbers: Structure, Steel Groups and Examples

How steel material numbers according to EN 10027-2 are structured, what the steel group number tells you and where registered steel grades can be looked up.
