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
