TCSLD4 is a thermodynamic and properties database for applications to solder alloys. The database enables pre-screening of potential solder candidate compositions and predictions of various thermodynamic properties and phase equilibria. The database also provides information on possible interfacial reactions.
The results from these predictions can be applied to eliminate candidate solder alloys for which the calculations reveal unsuitable freezing temperature ranges and undesired phases from further testing. Thus, the database can accelerate design of new solder alloys as well as improve understanding of existing solder alloys in terms of their processing and in-service behavior.
The TCSLD4 database contains all the important solder alloy systems, such as Sn-/Au-/Bi-/Zn-based solders and Cu, Ni, Pd, and so on, relevant substrate or metallization materials.
TCSLD4 was developed to be used with nearly our entire suite of products: Thermo-Calc, the Add-on Modules, except for the Additive Manufacturing Module, and all available SDKs.
