Abstract: IDS (InterDendritic Solidification) is a thermodynamic–kinetic–empirical tool for simulation of solidification phenomena of steels including phase transformations from melt down to room temperature. In addition, important thermophysical material properties (enthalpy, thermal conductivity, density, etc.) are calculated. The model has been developed in the Laboratory of Metallurgy, Helsinki University of Technology, Finland, since 1984. IDS includes two main modules, the IDS module and the ADC (Austenite DeComposition) module. IDS module simulates the solidification phenomena from liquid down to 1000°C and ADC the austenite decomposition down to room temperature. Both modules have their own recommended composition ranges. The IDS module is based on the so-called sharp interface concept. The ADC is mainly statistical based on empirical CCT (Continuous Cooling Transformation) diagrams. IDS tool is also coupled with the thermodynamic programmer's library, called ChemApp, developed by a German company, GTT-Technologies. This coupled package is used to simulate among other things multiphase inclusions during solidification. The present paper summarises the features of the IDS tool including the coupling with the ChemApp library.
