CALCULATE
For Thermodynamics & Phase EquilibriaThermo-Calc
Thermo-Calc makes thermodynamic and phase equilibria predictions easy and accessible, so you don’t need to be an expert in thermodynamics to use it. Yet the software offers sophisticated and flexible functions, so it’s applicable for even the most advanced users.
Stable and meta-stable heterogeneous phase equilibriaAmounts of phases and their compositions as a function of temperature and chemistryPhase transformation temperatures, such as liquidus, solidus and solvusPhase diagrams, binary, ternary and isoplethal and isothermal sections for higher order systemsThermochemical data such as enthalpies, heat capacity and activitiesDriving force for phase transformationsSolidification applying the Scheil-Gulliver modelThermodynamic properties of chemical reactionsPourbaix diagrams and other calculations involving aqueous solutions

Thermo-Calc is a powerful software package for the calculation of thermodynamic and phase equilibria. In conjunction with suitable thermodynamic databases, assessed using the CALPHAD approach, Thermo-Calc can be used for a wide variety of applications.
EvolutionOriginally developed at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, in the early 1980s, Thermo-Calc has been a trusted resource for customers around the world in industry, government and academia for more than 30 years. Today Thermo-Calc is used by more than 1300 organizations in over 60 countries. With more than 14,000 journal citations and cited in over 1000 patents, Thermo-Calc has consistently been one of the most widely used software products in the field of computational materials science and engineering and is a leader in the field.
Consistently Maintained and UpdatedThermo-Calc has been consistently updated and improved over its 30 years to satisfy the evolving needs of our user-base. Thermo-Calc is now on a two-times-per-year release cycle and customers with a maintenance and support subscription receive these updates for free.
Technical Support and Training Thermo-Calc is backed by a dedicated customer technical support team. We also have agents around the world, as well as a subsidiary in the USA, who provide local customer support. Training courses are offered twice a year in Stockholm, Sweden, and Pittsburgh, PA, USA, as well as other locations around the world. We also provide training videos, available on our website.
High Quality Thermodynamic DatabasesOver 30 thermodynamic databases, developed based on the CALPHAD approach, are available for use with Thermo-Calc. The databases cover a broad range of materials, systems and applications, including:
