Noble Metal Alloys Databases

TCNOBL3 is our thermodynamic and properties database designed for use with noble (or precious) metal-based alloys. It is intended for applications in jewelry, dental alloys, decoration industries, and delicate components in scientific instruments. MOBNOBL1 is the corresponding mobility database needed for use with the add-on kinetic modules.

TCNOBL3 for Thermodynamic and Properties Data

TCNOBL3 is a thermodynamic database developed for noble (or precious) metal-based alloys. It is intended for applications in jewelry, dental alloys, decoration industries, and delicate components in scientific instruments. The database includes nearly all stable phases in the assessed systems that may form in as-cast and aged noble-based alloys.

TCNOBL3 was developed to be used with our entire suite of products: Thermo-Calc, the Add-on Modules, and all available SDKs.

MOBNOBL1 for Kinetic Data

MOBNOBL1 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.

MOBNOBL1 is compatible and recommended to be used in combination with TCNOBL3.

Noble Metal Alloys Model Library Free with Purchase of Database

Noble metal alloys are frequently developed for the purpose of achieving an attractive color. In particular, the Au-Ag-Pt-Cu-Al system is of interest. The Noble Metal Alloys Model Library includes one property model that was designed for predicting the optical properties and apparent color of noble metal alloys as a function of incident light and other important variables. The model is intended to assist users in achieving an attractive color when developing noble metal alloys for the purpose of cosmetic applications. 

This model is currently applicable for the Au-Al-Ag-Cu-Pt system. 

The Noble Metal Alloys Model Library is available for free to all users who have a license for the database TCNOBL (version 3 or newer) and who have a valid Maintenance & Support Subscription (M&SS).
