About the TCS Molten Salts Database (TCSALT)
TCS Molten Salts Database (TCSALT) is a thermodynamic and properties database designed to be used for fluorides (F) and chlorides (Cl) where the ionic two-sublattice liquid model is used for the molten salt. No metallic liquid is modeled. Several oxide (O) systems are also modeled and assessed.
The database can be used for a variety of applications, especially for processes involved with recycling aluminium where fluxes are used. The database covers the most common fluxes and you can study the flux ability to dissolve inclusions, like oxides, removal of unwanted elements in the Al-melt and how this varies with flux composition and temperature.
The database can also be used to understand high temperature corrosion where molten salts can destroy the corrosion resistance.
Molar volume, surface tension of the iconic liquids, and viscosity of the iconic liquids are added to the database as of version 2 (TCSALT2).
Interconnectivity to Other Products
TCS Molten Salts Database (TCSALT) can be used with Thermo-Calc and all available SDKs. The database does not currently have a corresponding mobility database. It also cannot be used with the Additive Manufacturing (AM) Module.
Combining Databases
It is possible to combine several databases to make calculations using Thermo‑Calc. For more information related to a specific type of problem, contact one of our support specialists at info@thermocalc.com. The experts are available to make recommendations on the most suitable database to use for your needs.
