We are happy to inform you that the most recent update of FactSage, version 8.2, has recently been delivered to our customers. In this version, we improved the capability of some important calculation modules and also introduced a new app for the assessment of Gibbs energy functions! Many of the standard databases have been significantly […]

KilnSimu is a standalone software that can be used for thermodynamic modelling rotary drum furnaces. It is a joint production by VTT and GTT. While it relies on the calculation routines of ChemApp, it is user-friendly and specialized to one specific application. The rotary kiln is concurrently used in several industries. The rotary drum provides

In Acta Chemica Scandinavica Gunnar Eriksson published a series of publications which culminated in 1971 in the third paper titled SOLGAS, a Computer Program for Calculating the Composition and Heat Condition of an Equilibrium Mixture. [1] In the abstract he stated: “A computer program named SOLGAS is described. SOLGAS is a program for calculating equilibrium
Please note that SimuSage has been discontinued.We recommend ChemApp for Python and FactFlow, embedded in the FactSage package, as alternative process simulation tools. In connection with the Industry 4.0 initiative, tools for process simulation and process optimization are recently gaining in importance. In the context of metallurgy, its digitalization will work as an enabler of
Please note that SimuSage has been discontinued. We recommend ChemApp for Python and FactFlow, embedded in the FactSage package, as alternative process simulation tools. In recent years, there has been a continuous societal and industrial effort to promote the so-called „circular economy“. According to this paradigm, for producing engineering materials in general, and metals and

In this blog post we will see how to interpret the phase activity of a phase which does not form in equilibrium for a given temperature and pressure. For this, we will consider an Al-Cu alloy containing 0.01 mol% Cu at a temperature of 500°C and at a pressure of 1 atm and we will

Please note that SimuSage has been discontinued. We recommend ChemApp for Python and FactFlow, embedded in the FactSage package, as alternative process simulation tools. Harvey and Gheribi[1] developed a thermochemistry-based model for the iron blast furnace. In their work, the corresponding process model was developed with a flowsheeting approach based on the connected local equilibrium

I have just attended the virtual DGM meeting which is concluded by the award presentation. My congratulations go to Katharina Esleben from University of Siegen and her co-authors, who have received the Werner-Köster award for their article Effect of Cr and Ni on the microstructural evolution in Co–Re–Cr–Ni alloys in the International Journal of Materials

Sometime ago a customer asked me how to find out if Ca2SiO4 is included in a certain database. Since the answer to this question can be really useful for customers in general, I decided to write this blog on the subject. We will define a substance with a defined chemical composition as a chemical species.
GTT-Technologies yearly invites users of its software family to join the GTT Users’ Meeting. Because of the CoViD-19 Pandemia, the usual face-to-face meeting will exceptionally not take place this year. Feedback from our customers made clear to us that there is a strong interest in alternative formats of the GTT Users’ Meeting. Therefore, we are
