Assessed Systems and Phases
The most recent version of the database contains:
- 161 binary systems, which can be calculated with the BINARY module in Thermo‑Calc Console Mode.
- 78 ternary systems, which can be calculated with the TERNARY module in Thermo‑Calc Console Mode.
- 328 solution and intermetallic phases, which covers all the important solder alloy phases.
In most cases, the phases having the same crystal structure are merged as the same phase.
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.
