MICRESS Forum

Hello,
I'd like to ask you some basic questions. For example, if I want to define the austenitic phase, what values do I need? From what aspects can be reflected that this phase is austenitic phase? I am currently using version 6.4 of MICRESS.
Best,
Roscoe

Dear Rosco,

In the example input file which you append, the nature of the "austenite" phase is only reflected indirectly by the phase data and phase interaction data which are provided in the input file. That means, it could be any phase with the given properties, and without knowing the purpose of this simulation setup, it would be difficult to find out that it is austenite which is addressed.
However, this would be different if you would make use of a thermodynamic database like TCFE from Thermo-Calc, and you would link the available thermodynamic information of the austenite phase (FCC_A1) in this database.
