Applications to Process Simulations

The TCS Ti/TiAl-based Alloys Database (TCTI) database has thermophysical properties included. Below are examples about applications to process simulations.

Enthalpy / Heat Contents

Process simulations are an important complement to experimental means in the optimization of casting and welding techniques. A key property for process simulations is enthalpy, which is needed to model the release of heat during the solidification process.

The example shows reliable predictions supported by experimental measurements using different techniques for enthalpy of Ti-64 in both solid and liquid states.
