Computer-Aided Thermodynamics

The properties of materials strongly depend on their microstructure. The microstructure is the result of phase transformations occurring during heat treatment. Since these treatments are limited in time, stable as well as metastable phases may participate in these reactions. It is thus very important to know about these stable and metastable phase equilibria in the field of materials development and optimisation.

In practice, materials are multi-component systems. Their phase equilibria can only be obtained using numerical techniques. This gave rise to computational thermodynamics which is based on a description of the thermodynamic functions by appropriate modelling. The parameters of these functions are obtained from experimental data by optimisation methods. At present thermodynamic databases are available for various classes of materials representing a valuable tool for materials development and for the solution of complex technological problems.

The calculation of stable and metastable phase equilibria as a function of temperature and composition provides the basis for determining the effect of alloying elements on the precipitation behaviour. Similarly, chemical reactions can be calculated under various boundary conditions yielding the input for the process of simulation. The calculation of equilibria under time dependent conditions leads to reaction paths differing such as the solidification considerably from stationary conditions process.

It is the aim of this training course to present the actual status of various software packages for thermodynamic calculations and to give a comprehensive and comprehensible overview of the applications. A wide field of materials will be covered ranging from steels, electronic materials, noble metals, solders and amalgams. Specific examples of industrial applications will be presented. In addition, broad room will be given to live and interactive demonstrations in order to give a good insight into the handling of the different types of software.

The training course addresses materials engineers and scientists in research and development departments in industry and at universities.

Veranstaltungsort:

The seminar takes place in the Seehotel Maria Laach situated 15 km west of Koblenz. It is overlooking the wide round of the largest Eifel maar, a volcanoe that has become extinct about 10000 years ago and that now forms a lovely lake surrounded by low mountains and isolated forests. Next to the Seehotel is the 900 year old monastry Maria Laach, a holy place for contemplation and mediation.

Hilfe

Die Suche / Erweiterte Suche im idw-Archiv
Verknüpfungen

Sie können Suchbegriffe mit und, oder und / oder nicht verknüpfen, z. B. Philo nicht logie.

Klammern

Verknüpfungen können Sie mit Klammern voneinander trennen, z. B. (Philo nicht logie) oder (Psycho und logie).

Wortgruppen

Zusammenhängende Worte werden als Wortgruppe gesucht, wenn Sie sie in Anführungsstriche setzen, z. B. „Bundesrepublik Deutschland“.

Auswahlkriterien

Die Erweiterte Suche können Sie auch nutzen, ohne Suchbegriffe einzugeben. Sie orientiert sich dann an den Kriterien, die Sie ausgewählt haben (z. B. nach dem Land oder dem Sachgebiet).

Haben Sie in einer Kategorie kein Kriterium ausgewählt, wird die gesamte Kategorie durchsucht (z.B. alle Sachgebiete oder alle Länder).
