PanDiffusion: Diffusion simulation view documentations
PanDiffusion is a module of Pandat software designed to simulate elemental diffusion under a variety of conditions. PanDifffusion provides a rich variety of applications including diffusion couple, homogenization, carburization, decarburization, phase transformation, particle dissolution, and so on. The boundary condition and geometry of simulation can be easily set for applications. It is seamlessly integrated with the user-friendly Pandat Graphical User Interface (PanGUI) as well as the thermodynamic calculation engine, PanEngine. The implementation of PanEngine guarantees reliable input data, such as chemical potential, phase equilibrium and chemical mobility. Overall architecture of the PanDiffusion module is shown below. A combined thermodynamic database and mobility database is needed for diffusion simulation. PanDiffusion module needs a combined thermodynamic and mobility database to perform a meaningful simulation for a material system in question. Please refer to Databases for more information.

Basic Functionalities of PanDiffusion Module
- Diffusion couple: composition profile of elements in the diffusion couple
- Carburization: carburization under a variety of boundary conditions
- Decarburization: carbon deplete in steel alloys
- Particle dissolution: dissolution of precipitates to matrix phase
- Phase transformation: transformation from one phase to the other
- Homogenization: solution treatment
