The use of Thermo-Calc in the area of alloy development have a long hsitory and goes back to the first version, more than 25 years ago.
Within the steel industry in particular, Thermo-Calc has been a part of the development of many new commercial alloys. Thermo-Calc also frequently contribute in various ways in the area of new patents.
With Thermo-Calc Software installed in a normal laptop computer, you can today make alloy development more flexible than ever, as quick and reliable caluclations can be made in a moment.
There are numerous of examples found in the references and examples of how Thermo-Calc and DICTRA can contribute in the development of alloys.
Examples of use within the area of alloy development is the possibility to perform multicomponent calculations for equilibrium, phase diagrams of many differnt sorts, property diagrams, soldification simulations, heat treatment and many more.
The possibility to use a high number of components in the calculations makes the range and quality of the database a crucial parameter.
The extensive use of the databases, such as the TCFE database, also enable further development of the databases.
