TCCC1 Elements, Systems, and Phases

The TCS Cemented Carbide Database (TCCC) covers the complete and critical assessments of many important binary and ternary systems, as well as some critical higher order systems, within the 13 element framework.

Assessed Systems and Phases

The most recent version of the database contains:

  • 77 assessed binary systems, which can be calculated with the BINARY module in Thermo‑Calc Console Mode.
  • 76 assessed ternary systems, mostly to their full range of composition. These can be calculated with the TERNARY module in Thermo‑Calc Console Mode.
  • 32 quaternary systems are assessed.
  • 36 phases.

TCCC1 Models for the Included Phases

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.
