Thermocalc Cracked Hot [verified] -
1. What Thermo-Calc Actually Is
On the technical side, "hot cracking" is a major defect in welding and casting. It occurs during the final stages of solidification when a thin film of liquid remains between solidifying grains. If the alloy shrinks or is under mechanical tension, these liquid films pull apart, creating a crack. How Thermo-Calc Predicts Hot Cracking
Set Parameters
: Define the composition range (e.g., mass % of a solute like Silicon) and run a One-Axis Calculation . thermocalc cracked hot
What Is Thermo-Calc? (No, It’s Not a Party Planner)
Pros:
Kou
: Analyzes the rate of liquid feeding versus the rate of shrinkage. these liquid films pull apart
