MatCalc 6.11
MatCalc 6.11 is a maintenance and stability update in the MatCalc 6.x series from MatCalc Engineering GmbH. MatCalc is a powerful software package for computational materials science, specializing in thermodynamic calculations, phase transformation kinetics, precipitation simulation, and microstructure evolution in metallic alloys (steels, aluminum, nickel-based superalloys, titanium, etc.). It combines the CALPHAD method for equilibrium thermodynamics with advanced kinetic models for diffusion-controlled transformations and precipitation.

Key Features of MatCalc 6.11
Thermodynamic Equilibrium Calculations:
Fast and accurate multi-component phase equilibrium using CALPHAD databases.
Support for complex systems with many elements and phases (FCC, BCC, liquid, carbides, intermetallics, etc.).
Stepped calculations, phase fraction diagrams, and property plotting (driving forces, chemical potentials, etc.).

Precipitation Kinetics & Microstructure Evolution:
Advanced mean-field precipitation modeling with nucleation, growth, and coarsening.
Multi-phase precipitation simulations with competitive growth.
Time-temperature-precipitation (TTP) and continuous cooling transformation (CCT) predictions.
Microstructure parameters (particle size distribution, number density, volume fraction) over time and temperature.

Diffusion & Phase Transformation Modeling:
DICTRA-like diffusion simulations in multi-phase systems.
Austenite-to-ferrite, martensite, bainite, and other solid-state transformations.
Coupling between thermodynamics and kinetics for realistic heat treatment simulations.
