August is a traditional month when the MatCalc training courses take place. This year was no exception. Both, the “MatCalc Basic Thermokinetic Simulations” and the “MatCalc Advanced Microstructure Simulations” trainings took place in Vienna, on the TU Wien Campus Getreidemarkt, where Prof. Ernst Kozeschnik shared his MatCalc knowledge to the attendees. Basic course was held in the first week of August (03.-06.08.2021). It started with the first steps like crea...

    We are glad to announce that the new versions of ME-Databases (ME-Al1.2, ME-Fe1.3, ME-Ni1.3) are now available. The major modifications are given below.   ME-Fe1.3 Precise knowledge of the peritectic composition and temperature and the austenite and ferrite stability limits are relevant for the processing of TRIP steels. The new ME-Fe database version contains an improved descriptions of fcc, bcc and liquid phases in the system Fe-Si-Mn-Al-C. Cu-sol...

      Below are details describing the various changes and new features of the MatCalc versions 6.03.1000. VERSION 6.03.1000: ONLINE 2020-03-16 New features   In simulation of thermomechanical treatments (TmT), the microstructure parameter values of precipitation domain (grain size, dislocation density, recrystallized fraction) at the end of the previous segment are taken for the start point of the subsequent segment. This allows the simulation of the mu...
