TCFE13 is a thermodynamic and properties database with applications to a variety of steels and Fe-based alloys, such as stainless steels, high-speed steels, tool steels, high-strength low alloy (HSLA) steels, cast irons, corrosion-resistant high strength steels, low-density steels, and also cemented carbides. The database can be used for alloy compositions, but also their interaction with atmospheres containing oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, or mixtures thereof.
The database is developed and validated for simulation of the solidification process, the relative stability of matrix phases (austenite and ferrite), precipitation of secondary phases such as sulfides, borides, oxides, phosphides, carbides, nitrides, carbonitrides, and also intermetallic phases such as the sigma and laves phases.
TCFE13 was developed to be used with our entire suite of products: Thermo-Calc, the Add-on Modules, and all available SDKs.
