Study Notes
- To download the educational package of Thermo-Calc, search for "Thermo-Calc" on Google, click on the free educational package, and follow the instructions to download and install it.
- The username is "academic" and the password is provided, which grants access to the educational version.
- The graphical user interface of Thermo-Calc allows users to create a new project, select elements, and perform a phase diagram calculation.
- The "System Definer" stage is where the system is defined, and the database selection is critical; in this case, the "Fe Demo" database is used for steel alloys.
- The "Equilibrium Calculator" step is performed automatically, and the "Plot Renderer" generates the phase diagram.
- The console mode provides more flexibility and allows for more complex diagrams to be generated.
- In the console mode, the "sys" module is used to start, and the "log file" is set to save all the syntaxes and commands entered.
- The "database" module is used to define the system, and the "get" command retrieves the data for the selected elements.
- The "single point equilibrium" calculation is performed by setting the conditions, including composition, temperature, and pressure.
- The "poly3" module is used to set the conditions and calculate the equilibrium.
- The "set condition" command is used to set the pressure, temperature, and number of moles.
- The "compute equilibrium" command calculates the equilibrium, and the result is displayed using the "list equilibrium" command.
- The "map" command is used to create a grid of composition and temperature points, and the "post" module is used to plot the diagram.
- The "set diagram axis" command is used to define the x and y axes, and the "plot" command generates the phase diagram.
- The diagram can be labeled and customized using various options in the "post" module.
- The "set interactive" command is used to reuse the file, and the Thermo-Calc macro can be run to generate the phase diagram.
