Titanium and TiAl-based Alloys Databases

TCTI6 is our thermodynamic and properties database designed for use with titanium and TiAl-based alloys. MOBTI5 is the corresponding mobility database needed for use with the add-on kinetic modules.

TCTI6 for Thermodynamic and Properties Data

TCTI6 is a thermodynamic and properties database for conventional Ti-based and newly emerging γ-TiAl based alloys. All necessary volume data (including molar volume and thermal expansion) for various solution and intermetallic phases is available in TCTI6.

This database can be used to calculate various phase diagrams and thermodynamic properties in assessed systems, but also to predict stable and metastable phase equilibria (β-transus temperature, evolution of phase fractions vs. temperature, martensitic temperature, and so on) for a wide range of multicomponent alloys of industrial relevance, with light impurities (O, N, H, etc.) taken into account. Ti- and γ-TiAl-based alloys of relevance that can be studied include, but are not limited to:

  • Alpha and near-alpha alloys, such as Ti-6242Si
  • Alpha-beta alloys, such as Ti64
  • Beta or near-beta alloys, such as Ti 10-2-3
  • γ-TiAl based alloys, such as TNM alloys
  • And more

TCTI6 was developed to be used with our entire suite of products: Thermo-Calc, the Add-on Modules, and all available SDKs.

MOBTI5 for Kinetic Data

MOBTI5 is a corresponding mobility database that provides kinetic data for those working with the add-on kinetic modules – the Diffusion Module (DICTRA) and the Precipitation Module (TC-PRISMA) – as well as a few specific calculation types, such as Scheil with back diffusion. If you do not purchase a license for an add-on kinetic module, you most likely do not need a mobility database. One of our technical sales representatives can help you determine whether your work requires a mobility database.

MOBTI5 is compatible and recommended to be used in combination with TCTI6.

Titanium Model Library Free with Purchase of Database

The Titanium Model Library is a package of property models used to set up calculations in the Property Model Calculator that are common to those working in the titanium industry. The library includes two models intended for those working with titanium: Alloy Strength – Ti and Martensite Temperatures – Ti.

The Titanium Model Library is available for free to all users who have licenses for the titanium databases TCTI (version 6 or newer) and valid Maintenance & Support Subscription (M&SS).

LEARN HOW THE DATABASE WAS UPDATED FOR

Next Generation Database for Greener and More Efficient Aerospace Vehicles

The TCTI database was part of an ambitious experimental program consisting of four partners from three countries and spanning over almost 4 years. The goal of the project was to develop an accurate CALPHAD database that aids the design of lightweight, high-temperature tolerant TiAl alloys used to make aero engine rotating blade parts.
