What is JMatPro?
Materials and Manufacturing TechnologyKumar Babu Surreddi
• JMatPro – Java –based Materials Properties
• a simulation software which calculates a wide range of materials properties for alloys and is particularly aimed at multicomponent alloys used in industrial practice
• designed for any engineer and scientist who requires knowledge of materials properties and behavior as part of their daily work
• Advantages– Fast and robust calculations
– Ease of use due to an intuitive user interface
– Sound prediction of properties
• The various material types currently available in JMatPro are:– Al based alloys, Mg based alloys, Fe (general steel, cast iron and stainless steels),
Ni based and NiFe based super alloys, and single crystals

Materials and Manufacturing TechnologyKumar Babu Surreddi
What is Thermo-Calc?• Thermo-Calc (TCW) Thermodynamic calculations software with user-
friendly graphical interface
• The company Thermo-Calc Software AB was founded in 1997 as an offspring from the department of Materials Science and Engineering at KTH, Stockholm, Sweden
• An intuitive way of performing advanced thermodynamic calculations
• TCW is used for calculation of – Multicomponent phase diagrams and property diagrams
– Thermochemical data such as enthalpies, heat capacity, and activities– Solidification simulations with the Scheil-Gulliver model
• Benefits – highly versatile with multiple applicability in the field of materials science and
engineering
– provide better understanding of the factors that affect material behavior
– help reduce costs by quickly identifying control parameters or alloy compositions
– multi-functional

• based on high-quality thermodynamic databases developed by critical assessments and systematical evaluations of various experimental data and theoretical information using the CALPHAD method
• databases from various sources such as SGTE, CAMPADA, CCT, ThermoTech, NPL, NIST, MIT, Theoretical Geochemistry Group, etc.
• currently, there are accurate thermodynamic databases available for many different types of materials, such as:
Steels/Fe-alloys Ni-based superalloys Al-based alloys Mg-based alloys Ti-based alloys SoldersNobel metals Semi-conductors Nuclear materialsZr-based alloys Slags Ceramics Super-conductors Thermal barrier coatings Solid Oxide fuel cells Molten salts
