Learn how the Steel Model Library in Thermo-Calc can be used to find the optimal compositions for an Fe-Mn-C steel to achieve high hardenability for the purpose of strength.
Learn how batch calculations within the Property Model Calculator can be used to identify candidate titanium alloy chemistries for biomedical implant applications using the thermodynamic Ti/TiAl-based Alloys Database.
Process Metallurgy Examples
Learn how to use equilibrium calculations in the Process Metallurgy Module to optimize BOF operations, predict costs, and improve raw material and recycling efficiency.
Learn how to set up a kinetic simulation of the BOF process in the Process Metallurgy Module and learn more about the EERZ model.
Learn how the Process Metallurgy Module in Thermo-Calc can be used to investigate two widely applied methods of deoxidizing or killing the steel.
Learn how the Process Metallurgy Module in Thermo-Calc can be used to explore conditions for an equilibrium between liquid steel and slag in a ladle furnace, trying to find good slag compositions.
Learn how the Process Metallurgy Module can be used to simulate the ladle furnace (LF) refining process, balancing thermodynamics and kinetics to model steel purification. The results are compared to experimental data on steel, slag, and inclusion composition over time.
Learn how to set up the vacuum oxygen decarburization (VOD) process in the Process Metallurgy Module. The (VOD) process is used to lower the carbon content in a stainless steel without compromising on the Cr yield.
