Does DANTE come with a material database or is the user responsible for the material properties?

A standard material database is included with the DANTE software package. The database includes most standard US steel grades and contains...
1) Properties for the phase transformation kinetics for ferrite, pearlite, upper bainite, lower bainite, martensite, and tempered martensite to austenite. Properties are a function of carbon level when applicable.
2) Properties for austenite to ferrite, pearlite, upper bainite, lower bainite, and martensite. Properties are a function of carbon when applicable.
3) Properties for martensite to tempered martensite. Both low and high temperature tempering kinetics are included. Properties are a function of carbon when applicable.
4) Mechanical properties for all relevant phases as a function of temperature, carbon, nitrogen, temperature, strain, and strain rate.
5) Thermal properties for all relevant phases as a function of phase and temperature.
6) Diffusivity properties as a function of chemical concentration and temperature.

What materials come in the standard DANTE material database?

The database includes materials such as 10XX, 40XX, 41XX, 43XX, 48XX, 51XX, 86XX, 93XX, 52100, 304SS, and many more. In total, there is approximately 25 standard materials. The "XX" in the grade indicates that there are properties for multiple carbon levels, allowing for the modeling of a carburized component.

What if I have a material that is not included in the standard database? Am I able to add my own materials to DANTE?

DANTE also includes a user material database where users can add materials to suit their needs. These can be materials not in the standard database or a modification to an existing material to match an alloy modification.
DANTE Solutions has also developed utility programs to facilitate the fitting of experimental data to the DANTE phase transformation and mechanical models.
