PanTitanium – Thermodynamic database (TH), Mobility database (MB), and Thermophysical property (TP) database for multi-component titanium alloys.

  • The PanTi_TH thermodynamic database consists of 21 components, 340 phases and 178 fully assessed binary and ternary systems. The database is validated by many Ti-based alloys.
  • The PanTi_MB mobility database includes assessed mobility model parameters for the Liquid, Bcc, Fcc, and Hcp solution phases. It is compatible with PanTi_TH and suitable for the simulation of diffusion controlled phenomena of multi-component titanium alloys.
  • The PanTi_TP thermophysical property database includes the molar volume database covers all the 340 phases assessed in the PanTi_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 Ti-based alloys, such as density, thermal expansion, and solidification shrinkage.

Comparison between predicted and observed beta transus for more than 150 Ti64 heats

Beta transus, the temperature at which α starts to form from β, is an important reference parameter in the selection of processing conditions, such as heat treatment process, for the conventional α-β type of titanium alloys. This temperature has been calculated for a large number of Ti64 and other titanium alloys using PanTi-TH. The example shows a comparison between the predicted and observed beta transus temperatures for more than 150 Ti64 heats, and reasonable agreement is obtained.

This is an example of calculation of beta approach curve for a Ti64 alloy. The experimental data are also plotted on the figure for comparison.

By integrating PanTi_MB and PanTi_MV with PanTi_TH, the combined database can be used to simulate diffusion-controlled phenomena and thermo-physical properties of titanium alloys. This example shows a simulation for diffusion couple Ti-5.9Al/Ti-4.8Cr (at%) annealed at 1473K for 18 hours.
