More about PanAl database

PanAluminum – Thermodynamic database (TH), Mobility database (MB), and Molar volume (MV) database for multi-component aluminum-rich casting and wrought alloys.

  • The PanAl_TH thermodynamic database consists of 38 components, 1150 phases, 455 assessed binary systems and 82 assessed ternary systems. The database is validated by large number of aluminum alloys.
  • The PanAl_MB mobility database includes assessed mobility model parameters for the Liquid, Bcc, Fcc, and Hcp solution phases. It is compatible with the PanAl_TH and suitable for the simulation of diffusion controlled phenomena of multi-component aluminum alloys.
  • The PanAl_TP thermophysical property database includes the molar volume database covers all the 1150 phases assessed in the PanAl_TH, the surface tension and viscosity properties for the liquid phase. It can be combined with the thermodynamic database for the simulation of thermo-physical properties of Al-based alloys, such as density, thermal expansion, and solidification shrinkage.

Applications

Calculated isopleth of Al-Si-0.5Fe-4Mg(at%)

This figure shows the calculated isopleth of Al-Fe-Mg-Si at 4wt.%Mg and 0.5wt.%Fe with experimental data.

A precipitation simulation for the Al-2.3Mg-6.1Zn (wt%) alloy aged at 160oC for 1000 hours. The simulated particle size and yield strength evolution with time are compared with experimental data as shown in the figures. As is seen, the particles grow and coarsen with ageing time, while the yield strength reaches peak between 1 to 10 hours and decreases quickly after 10 hours of ageing. The database used to do this simulation is the combined thermodynamic and mobility database of Al-based alloys: PanAl_TH+MB.
