Common Phases for the TCNI Database

The following lists common phase names and the corresponding Thermo‑Calc database phase names for some key superalloys.

Only the phases of interest for superalloys are defined by default, which means that when retrieving the data from the database other phases are automatically rejected and need to be manually restored if these are required for a calculation.

The complete description of all the binary systems and many ternary systems are available using the BINARY and TERNARY modules in Thermo‑Calc Console Mode.

There are several possible composition sets for the phases named FCC_L12 and BCC_B2; they are either disordered (A1/carbonitride and A2) or ordered (L12 (γ’) and B2 (β)).
