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.

This video shows you how to install Thermo-Calc on a Windows computer for a single user node locked license.

For network licenses, view the installation guides at our website - https://thermocalc.com/support/documentation/

Introducing Thermo-Calc 2023a

Learn how to use the Precipitation Module (TC-PRISMA) in Thermo-Calc to simulate the precipitation of cementite during tempering of an Fe-Mn-C steel.

We’ll use three growth rate models from the Precipitation Module to consider three interface conditions: the usual ortho-equilibrium condition; the para-equilibrium condition; and a smooth transition from the parae-quilibrium to the ortho-equilibrium condition.

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.

Getting started with Thermo Calc

This videos shows you how to create a diffusion simulation with a moving phase boundary using the Diffusion Module (DICTRA) in the graphical mode of Thermo-Calc. Three different ways to set up the simulation are presented.

In this video, the growth of ferrite (BCC) into austenite (FCC) is simulated for a Steel with 0.15% carbon. The first two simulations presented in this video are isothermal, and the third is non-isothermal.
