In the 3rd blog post of this series related to the Blast Furnace Diagram, we at first consider the effect of including the metallic phases as solution phases instead of considering them as pure compounds, like we already did for the oxides. Then, we show how the total pressure will affect the diagram, in special …

In the second blog post of this series related to the Blast Furnace Diagram, we explore some variations of the diagram constructed in the first blog post, while sticking to carbon as the only reducing agent in the system. This blog post was written in collaboration with Klaus Hack. The first diagram that we will …

FactSage databases constitute the largest set of evaluated and optimized thermodynamic databases for inorganic systems in the world [1]. However, in case your system of interest is not (fully) covered by commercial databases, the development of own, i.e. private, databases might be required. This blogpost outlines how you can create a private database in FactSage …

From March 20th to March 23rd 2023 we will host a four-day online course on Computational Thermochemistry and the FactSage software. On each day, the course will take half a day, from 1 pm to 5 pm Central European Time (CET). To participants who don’t already have FactSage installed on their PCs we will make …
The so-called blast-furnace diagram describes which phases are stable in the different regions of the blast furnace, depending on the conditions of temperature and of the atmosphere inside the furnace[1]. It is basically a phase diagram, where the volume fraction of CO is represented on the X-axis and the temperature is represented on the Y-axis, …

The GTOx oxide database was developed in-house at GTT-Technologies and in close cooperation with Forschungszentrum Jülich, IEK-2, specially with Elena Yazhenskikh. The thorough literature review was performed concerning phase diagram information and thermochemical experiments (enthalpies of formation and transformation, component activities, oxygen partial pressures etc.). GTOx includes a description for different combinations of oxides, e.g. …
