In practice, materials are multicomponent systems. Their phase equilibria can only be obtained using numerical techniques. This gave rise to the 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 optimization 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 process simulation. The calculation of equilibria under time dependent conditions leads to reaction paths.
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 to materials research and development departments in industry and at universities.
Professional management of the seminar is provided by Prof. Dr. G. Inden, Ratingen.

Flyer Seminar Computer-Aided Thermodynamics You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
