TCAL10 Elements, Systems, and Phases
This section summarizes the available elements, assessed systems, and total number of phases in the TCS Al-based Alloy Database (TCAL).

Assessed Systems and Phases
The most recent version of the database contains:
- 313 assessed binary systems, which can be calculated with the BINARY module in Thermo‑Calc Console Mode.
- 123 assessed ternary systems, mostly to their full range of composition. These can be calculated with the TERNARY module in Thermo‑Calc Console Mode.
- 14 quaternaries are assessed within the Al-rich region.
- 725 solution and intermetallic phases. This includes nearly all stable phases in the assessed systems and the most important metastable phases that may form in as-cast and aged Al‑based alloys.
The GAS phase is restored by default when retrieving the data from the database. In order to reject it when it is not required for a calculation, you now have to manually reject it.
In Console Mode, you can list phases and constituents in the Database (TDB) module and the Gibbs (GES) module. For some phases, supplementary information is included in the definitions. To show the information, it is recommended in the Database (TDB) module to use the command List_System with the option Constituents
.
