We at GTT are very happy that Klaus Hack was awarded the Hume-Rothery Prize 2020. This prize is awarded every year by the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining of the United Kingdom in recognition of distinguished achievements concerned with phase relationships in metallic materials or non-metallic materials of metallurgical interest. Please check https://www.iom3.org/award/hume-rothery-prize.html. Congratulations …
A customer has asked me: “How can I include an experimental point on a figure generated in FactSage ?”. The procedure is relatively simple. Suppose that you have generated a curve in FactSage like the one below. Representing the Molar Gibbs Energy of the γ phase in the Fe-C system at 1000°C as a function …
We are very happy to announce the release of the first free FactSage Education version! This version is intended for both students as well as anybody else who is interested in a free test version. Many databases are available and most modules are active. The main restriction is that all calculations are limited to three …
Today, a lot of attention is directed to the Internet of Things, Industry 4.0 and the Digital Twin. These buzzwords describe interesting concepts for our everyday life and for the control of processes in industries. But when you want to connect them with material that changes its state, things become really complicated.
“In this house, we obey the laws of thermodynamics!” – Homer Simpson. We at GTT completely agree: The laws of thermodynamics are the solid foundation on which we can build understanding of materials and processes. Not all materials and processes are in equilibrium, but there are also many options to calculate constrained equilibria and …
