Thermo-Calc Software

Learn how to make thermodynamic calculations, diffusion simulations and precipitation simulations using Thermo-Calc software.

Our videos will also teach you how to install Thermo-Calc and will keep you up-to-date on the latest releases and additions to the software and the newest thermodynamic databases and diffusion databases.

Thermo-Calc Software specialises in developing software and databases for computational materials engineering, also known as computational thermodynamics. Our software and databases are used by organisations around the world for both fundamental research and applied research, such as design of new alloys, optimisation of processing conditions, failure analysis and much more.

Learn how to use serially coupled Equilibrium Calculators in the Graphical Mode of Thermo-Calc. This means linking multiple equilibrium calculators to complete your calculation. It is done for complex equilibrium conditions and in cases where the equilibrium calculation does not converge. This video shows two examples of serially coupled equilibrium calculators - one that demonstrates how to find the carbon content at which FCC and BCC are equaul and one that calculates the solidus temperature for an Fe-Cr-C alloy. You can follow along by downloading our Free Educational Package: https://thermocalc.com/academia/free-academic-package/ View more examples videos on our Video Tutorials page: https://thermocalc.com/support/video-tutorials/

Learn how to calculate the hot crack susceptibility, also known as the hot tearing tendency, during solidification for an aluminum-silicon alloy using Thermo-Calc. Hot tearing is one of the most common and serious defects encountered during the casting of aluminum alloys. The information gathered from this type of calculation can help you choose the right alloy composition to reduce the occurrence of this issue. The example uses a demo database, so it can be run by anyone with a license for Thermo-Calc 20201a or newer, including those who are using the Free Educational Package.

Learn how to use the Precipitation Module (TC-PRISMA) in Thermo-Calc to make an isothermal precipitation simulation for the formation of AL3SC in an Al-Sc alloy. Results of the calculation are then used to model yield strength. The calculation uses a binary system, so all users, including those users who do not have a license for the Precipitation Module (TC-PRISMA), can still complete the calculation.

If you've ever wondered how a thermodynamic and properties database is developed, this video is for you. Thermo-Calc Software databases are developed using a process called a CALPHAD Assessment. This video explains what a CALPHAD assessment is and walks you step-by-step through the process so that you get an idea of how our thermodynamic and properties databases are developed. The assessment involves searching and evaluating all of the literature data, defining a Gibbs energy model depending on its crystal or chemical structure, fitting the model to the data and more. ---DOWNLOAD THE FILES--- All of the files shown in the video can be downloaded so that you can follow along and complete your own CALPHAD assessment: https://thermocalc.com/content/uploads/PARROT/calphad-assessment-using-parrot-module.zip
