The developers and the end-uses of Thermo-Calc, DICTRA, JMatPro, FactSage, Pandat, and MTDATA are invited to submit articles and/or examples that are preferably focused on how to calculate and use sophisticated multi-component phase diagrams to solve various practical problems. | | URL: | http://www.calphad.com/ | | Pagerank: | 4 | | Category: | Science and Technology: Engineering | | Link Owner: | Alojz Kajinic | | Date Added: | October 03, 2007 01:58:48 AM | | Number Hits: | 0 | CALPHAD Method
The CALPHAD method is based of the fact that a phase diagram is a representation of the thermodynamic properties of a system. Thus, if the thermodynamic properties are known, it would be possible to calculate the multi-component phase diagrams. Thermodynamic descriptions of lower order systems (e.g., the Gibbs energy of each phase) are combined to extrapolate higher order systems. | Thermo-Calc
Thermo-Calc is a powerful and flexible software package based upon a powerful Gibbs Energy Minimizer and developed for performing various kinds of thermodynamic and phase diagram calculations. It handles complex problems involving the interaction of many elements and phases and is specially designed for systems and phases that exhibit highly non-ideal behavior. |
