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,

From September 19th to 21th 2022 the International Freiberg Conference on waste gasification (https://freiberg.gasification-freiberg.com/) will take place and we are excited to be there! Waste gasification is an important topic for us at GTT, because it contributes to the rational and efficient usage of natural resources. GTT will be represented by two talks: Talk 1:

The latest FactSage release, FactSage 8.2, comprises a completely new tool to facilitate the development of thermodynamic databases based on the Calphad methodology – the Calphad Optimizer (Figure 1). Figure 1: The new Calphad Optimizer in FactSage 8.2. The goal of database development is to derive a set of self-consistent thermochemical parameters that allow the
From September 27th to 29th 2022 the Material Science and Engineering (MSE, https://dgm.de/mse/2022/) conference will take place in Darmstadt and we are excited to be there! In total, GTT will be represented by three talks: Talk 1: Building a common platform for thermodynamic optimizations Speaker: Florian Tang When: 09/28/2022, 9.20 AM CET Talk 2: Accuracy
The GTT Users‘ Meeting 2022, which took place online, was a huge success with more than 150 participants from all over the world! The final program including the recorded video presentations can be found here: https://gtt-technologies.de/workshop2022/ As you can see, the program contained an excellent mix of theoretical and application-oriented presentations covering topics mainly in
