T_12: Viscosity in Cr-Ni

This is an example of including viscosity in the calculations.

Using the FEDEMO database, which is the free demonstration version of the TCS Steel and Fe-alloys Database (TCFE), the viscosity of metallic liquids is plotted at 1873 K for Cu-Ni and compared to experimental data from [2005Sat].

The same example is also provided in Console Mode as tcex55.

Visualizations

Many of our Graphical Mode examples have video tutorials, which you can access in a variety of ways. When in Thermo‑Calc, from the menu select Help → Video Tutorials, or from the main My Project window, click Video Tutorials. Alternately, you can go to the website or our YouTube channel.

Open the example project file to review the node setup on the Project window and the associated settings on the Configuration window for each node. For some types of projects, you can also adjust settings on the Plot Renderer Configuration window to preview results before performing the simulation. Click Perform Tree to generate plots and tables to see the results on the Visualizations window.

More Information

The thermophysical properties are progressively being added to the Thermo‑Calc databases starting with Thermo‑Calc software version 2020a.

You can learn more about the models by searching the help (press F1 when in Thermo‑Calc).

You can find information on our website about the properties that can be calculated with Thermo‑Calc and the Add‑on Modules.
