Abstract The demand for new and improved lead-free solder (LFS) alloys grows steadily as the need for reliable lead-free electronic products increases. Thermodynamic calculations have proved to be an

This article describes the development of a new multi-platform software program called JMatPro for calculating the properties and behavior of multicomponent alloys. These properties are wide ranging,

Abstract This paper describes the recent development of models in computer software JMatPro for the calculation of phase transformations and material properties critical to the prediction of distortio

The basis for the HSLA calculations lies in the calculation of the various critical temperatures, such as the Ae3 and the pearlite transformation temperature. The method used here is based on the well

Abstract This paper describes the development of a computer model for the calculation of high temperature flow stress curves of titanium alloys. Two competing mechanisms for deformation, either domina

Work is being undertaken to develop a new multiplatform software programme for predicting a wide range of materials properties for various alloy types: These properties include thermophysical and phy

Abstract A new software programme, JMatPro, is used to obtain steady state creep rates and creep rupture life for multi-component commercial nickel based alloys. A key feature of the programme is that

The present article describes a method for calculating thecoarsening rate of y' in Ni-based superalloys,which has been applied to both binary Ni-A1 alloys and a wide range of multicomponent alloys. A

ABSTRACT Although castings rarely solid under equilibrium conditions, phase diagrams can be of considerable value for predicting the microstructural changes that occur during and after solidifica- lio

Abstract Thermo-physical and physical properties of liquid and solid phases during solidification are critical data for casting simulations. However, the number of alloys for which such information is
