TCPMAG3 is a thermodynamic and properties database for applications to a wide range of rare earth permanent magnet compositions from pure Nd2Fe14B to very complex NdFeB-based and SmCo-based commercial permanent magnetic materials. The database enables the underlying thermodynamics and phase equilibria of these systems to be predicted as a function of the chemical composition of the magnets and temperature.
Through such calculations, the database can be used to accelerate the design of new permanent magnetic NdFeB and SmCo based alloys as well as improve understanding of their processing and in-service behavior. For example, the database can be used to enhance the sintering of magnet alloys, improve both the intrinsic coercivity and the hot workability of alloys, enhance the temperature coefficient, and improve grain refinement.
TCPMAG3 was developed to be used with our entire suite of products: Thermo-Calc, the Add-on Modules, and all available SDKs.
TCPMAG3 does not currently have a corresponding mobility database.
