Abstract
This paper introduces PanEvolution, a modeling platform that integrates CALPHAD, microstructure modeling, and finite element method (FEM). This work represents the third generation of Pandat software, designed to simulate the microstructure evolution of metallic materials during conventional manufacturing processes. The key features of PanEvolution include: (1) direct coupling of CALPHAD with various FEM software packages. This enables FEM packages to obtain accurate input of phase information for multi-component alloys and perform simulations of microstructure evolution for technically important metallic alloys, including precipitation, recrystallization, grain growth, and coarsening, during conventional manufacturing processes such as forging and rolling. (2) an open architecture that facilitates the easy replacement and swapping of fast-acting microstructure models. This enables microstructure evolution and property models developed by academia or industry to be easily integrated into the PanEvolution platform to maximize their value in industrial applications.
期刊介绍:
The design of industrial processes requires reliable thermodynamic data. CALPHAD (Computer Coupling of Phase Diagrams and Thermochemistry) aims to promote computational thermodynamics through development of models to represent thermodynamic properties for various phases which permit prediction of properties of multicomponent systems from those of binary and ternary subsystems, critical assessment of data and their incorporation into self-consistent databases, development of software to optimize and derive thermodynamic parameters and the development and use of databanks for calculations to improve understanding of various industrial and technological processes. This work is disseminated through the CALPHAD journal and its annual conference.
