Hi Taka,

the PM with the email is sent!

Hi Martin, A good check whether the results are realistic or not is to compare to a Thermo-Calc Scheil simulation which I did with the alloy composition you specified: Scheil_all_phases.PNG As you can see, the Al composition in the melt is increasing until GAMMA_PRIME is formed, then it is decreasin...

Hi Ben, whether you see the compositions of the dormant phases or not is just a question of the exact options for the list_equilibrium command in Thermo-Calc: It looks like list_equilibrium ... Options /VWCS/: <option(s)> You can specify 4 characters, default is VWCS. They mean: Fraction order: V me...

Hi Hirosaito, if the error messages which you showed appear in this order, then there obviously is already a problem occuring for phase interaction 0/1 before phase 2 is nucleated: try hard phases 0 1 trials: 2 zp= 1124 try hard phases 0 1 trials: 4 zp= 2831 CALFUN:Error4 1 0 1611 CALFUN:Error5 1611...

Hi Taka, it seems really to be an incompatibility of the two databases - interestingly, as I heart, it occurs only with TCS and not with TCR... So, I can only advise you to do one of the following: - don't use diffusion data for the LIQUID phase which probably makes the trouble (the values are anywa...

Hi Taka, technically it should work like you did - what was the problem you experienced? I personally have no experiences with FE-DATA. Sometimes it happens that the databased which you join are not compatible... Which TQ version are you using? This can also have an effect in case of incompatibiliti...

Dear Hirosaito, Welcome to the MICRESS forum! The error message which you got is an internal Thermo-Calc message which is indicating that in an equilibrium calculation convergence was not possible. This is typically the case when the MICRESS simulation creates unphysical situation with compositions ...

Hi Martin, It is correct what you say: If you define (in seed type 1) that phase 2 should be "unresolved", and the substrate phase is 1, then, upon nucleation, the grain of phase 1 which will be locally found will serve as partner for the new seed of phase2 to form a diffuse "pseudo-grain". The orie...

Dear Martin, according to the error message in the .log file, the input "unresolved" seems to be not recognized! The ultimate check is if you input a REAL value in the next line for the "Microstructure size" which is required by the "Effective Phase" model: Your code should stop there if the "unreso...

Dear sudi, it is correct to use cementite as substrate phase for nucleation of ferrite at the cementite/austenite interfaces, and ferrite as substrate phase for nucleation of cementite at the ferrite/austenite interface. The choice of the substrate phase (if it is different from the matrix phase) re...
