JMatPro API v4.0, October 2017

• Implemented a new model for the calculation of electrical conductivity and resistivity.
• Added a new structure type for cast irons that allows a user-defined pearlitic-ferritic mixture to be considered in Solidification calculations.
• Extended the calculations of single crystal stiffness coefficients and anisotropic Young's modulus into the mushy zone.
• Added enthalpy of liquid to the output of a Solidification calculation using the quench model for general steels.
• Updated the thermodynamic and properties databases to match those included in JMatPro v10.0.
• Added Ag to magnesium alloys.

• Fixed discontinuity in the surface tension at high temperatures.
• Fixed inaccurate surface tension in the mushy zone for Solidification calculations that consider the effect of solid-state transformations.
• Fixed an intermediary calculation in the TTT/CCT modules that was going needlessly low in temperature, and also made other minor improvements to obtain more robust TTT/CCT calculations.
