All Thermo-Calc installations come with a module called the Material to Material Calculator that lets you look at how materials change from one to another. Compared to diffusion calculations, these computations are far simpler and faster because they are only based on thermodynamic equilibrium. Every installation of Thermo-Calc comes with the Material to Material
mwst rechner Calculator.
At 650 °C, the sample curve illustrates the slow change from martensitic stainless steel on the left to alloy 800 on the right. At this temperature, neither substance is anticipated to generate any harmful phases by itself. However, we observe that the harmful sigma phase may arise in the transition zone of these two materials (red line).
Although this kind of computation is quick and easy, it ignores non-linear diffusion effects. As a result, the actual phases that are present in a diffusion couple or welding connection of these two materials may differ.
Common Uses of the Material in Material Calculators
Any scenario where several materials come into touch with one another and will either react strongly (often at high temperatures) or gradually change into one another by design can be used with the Material to Material Calculator, much like how an

The calculator avoids the complexity of diffusion calculations by performing equilibrium calculations over linear composition gradients, enabling quick, easy, and stable computations. However, it is unable to consider intricate non-linear or non-steady-state diffusion effects.
