Publication Newsletter

June 2025

Each month, researchers publish a range of peer-reviewed studies that incorporate Thermo-Calc Software products. This edition of the publication newsletter highlights recent work in areas such as additive manufacturing, sustainable metallurgy, and alloy design using machine learning. Featured materials include steels, aluminium, copper, nickel, and more. We hope you find this selection of publications to be a valuable resource for your own work.
