Liquidus and Solidus Temperatures

The TCS Cu-based Alloys Database (TCCU) can be used to predict the liquidus and solidus temperatures, as well as incipient melting temperatures, which are critical to design heat treatments and melting processes.

The liquidus and solidus temperatures for more than 110 commercial copper-based alloys have been collected and compared to the calculated temperatures using TCCU.

Comparison of calculated and experimental liquidus and solidus temperatures for various industry copper alloys.
