The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) is South
Africa’s leading national research and development organization.
The Titanium Centre of Competence (TiCoC) within the CSIR has a
mandate to develop technology building blocks needed to establish
a new South African titanium industry. The TiCoC is developing a
suite of complementary technologies to add value to South Africa’s
vast resources of titanium. This programme primarily focuses on the
development and commercialisation of cost-effective processes for
primary titanium metal production and its conversion into finished
and semi-finished products. The recently established Titanium Pilot
Plant situated on the CSIR campus, is an important milestone in this
entire process. Parallel to this the TiCoC is developing and adapting
technologies to consolidate “low-cost” titanium powders into
products. Formal collaboration agreements have been signed between
the CSIR and global companies such as Boeing, Airbus and EADS.
These mutually beneficial agreements support South Africa’s long-term
economic development goals that include the supply of titanium to
many industries, including aerospace.
Thermo-Calc Software
http://www.thermocalc.com
Thermo-Calc Software is a leading developer of software and
databases for calculations involving computational thermodynamics
and diffusion controlled simulations.
Our extensive library of databases includes three dedicated
specifically to titanium and TiAl-based alloys, making Thermo-Calc
a powerful tool for performing thermodynamic and phase equilibria
calculations for multicomponent systems.
Our add-on programs, DICTRA and TC-PRISMA, allow for accurate
simulations of diffusion in multicomponent alloys and the prediction
of precipitation kinetics. And our software developments kits enable
Thermo-Calc to be called directly from the user’s own software or
MATLAB®.
Common calculations for Ti-alloys:
• β transus temperature Tβ
• Sensitivity of Tβ to impurity content of O, C and N
• Volume fraction of α and β
• Partitioning of alloying elements between α and β phases
Common calculations for TiAl-alloys:
• α transus temperature
• α2+γ eutectoid temperature
• Formation of the B2 phase
• Formation of minor phases such as Ti5Si3
