About the Diffusion Module (DICTRA)
The Diffusion Module (DICTRA) is an Add-on Module to Thermo-Calc that makes modeling multicomponent diffusion-controlled transformations simple and accessible. The Diffusion Module (DICTRA) is based on the numerical solution of the multicomponent diffusion equations and the CALPHAD approach.

Thermo-Calc Modelling of as-cast Features and Its Influence on Final Mechanical Properties
The development of new steel grades with high added value is of strategic importance for Tata Steel in Europe to maintain and improve market share. Finding the optimum casting parameters by trial and error takes a long time and increases the time to market, or even could hamper a successful and commercially viable market introduction.
In this presentation, an overview of Tata Steel’s approach using Thermo-Calc and the Diffusion Module (DICTRA), through internal expertise and external collaborations will be shown.

Thermodynamic and Kinetic Simulations on Joining and Additive Manufacturing Processes for an ICME Framework
A particular application of joining technologies is the development of contacts for high-performance thermoelectric generators. A CALPHAD-based ICME approach fits wonderfully to analyze and optimize the needed configuration. This webinar will show how a Thermo-Calc and TC-Python framework can be used to simulate the diffusion-reaction phenomena at the IZ to identify expected bonding layers, thickness and morphology. Additionally, a similar approach including the Precipitation Module (TC-PRISMA) and the Diffusion Module (DICTRA) is used to investigate the precipitation kinetics underlying the complex microstructure observed in Ti2AlNb-based alloys produced by additive manufacturing processes.
