Abstract

Abstract Thermodynamic databases for multi-component aluminum alloys, PanAl, and magnesium alloys, PanMg, are reviewed and applications are highlighted. Precipitation simulations by combining thermodynamic and mobility databases for Al and Mg alloys with the PanPrecipitation module of Pandat are also demonstrated. These simulations can serve as virtual experiments to understand the effects of alloy composition and heat treatment condition on the target properties therefore provide guidance for the design of real experiments, save time and reduce cost. For PanAl the focus in this work is on 7xxx alloy and high throughput calculation (HTC) to understand/predict the effects of major and minor alloying elements on the selected properties of an alloy. For PanMg applications are exemplified in a wider spectrum of Mg alloy design and related processing parameters and the usefulness of the CALPHAD modeling tool in Mg technology is demonstrated.
