Available Options with the Process Metallurgy Module
The Process Metallurgy Module is an Add-on Module to the core Thermo‑Calc software.
A separate license is required to perform calculations for more than three elements. Without it you are able to use the module in Demo Mode.
Process Metallurgy Template
A Process Metallurgy template under Applications is available to all Thermo‑Calc users when in Graphical Mode. If you are in DEMO mode then this is indicated by the addition of DEMO text.
Using the Template
After opening Thermo‑Calc in Graphical Mode, in the templates section under Applications click Process Metallurgy to add a System Definer, Process Metallurgy Calculator, and Plot Renderer to the Project tree.
Process Metallurgy Calculator
A Process Metallurgy Calculator allows you to set the conditions for, and perform, a process metallurgy calculation.
Demonstration (Demo) Mode
The Process Metallurgy Module, and some examples, are available to all Thermo‑Calc users but only for simulations of alloys with up to three elements. If you do not have a license for the Process Metallurgy Module then you are in Demonstration Mode when using the Process Metallurgy Calculator or its template.

Process Metallurgy Calculator
If you are experimenting with the Process Metallurgy Calculator in Demo Mode, you may have access to a variety of databases based on your license. However, you can only define up to three elements for a demo simulation.
If you define more than three elements and try to run the simulation the Event Log displays an error message.
