 Solidification paths of alloys

DICTRA

In Thermo-Calc, the Scheil-Gulliver Solidification Model is set

up as a module to enable easy simluations of solidification paths.

This is a non-equilibrium calculation which is used to enable studies

micro-segregation.

In Kinetic simulation with DICTRA it is possibile to use precise thermodynamic descriptions together with some kinetic models and data for describing mass and heat fluxes in the solidification processs under some kinds of restricted and simple geometry, which are often treated as one-dimensional.
