Abstract
Some excellent thermodynamic calculation “packages” are now available. They account for theoretical studies that reduce the experimental and development phases. The Scientific Group Thermodata Europe (SGTE) presents here some applications of thermodynamic data from their databases. Examples deal with the use of the thermodynamic database COST 507 for developing new light alloys as well as complex metastable, refractory coatings obtained by physical vapor deposit.
Résumé
L’utilisation de données thermodynamiques validées de bonne qualité avec des logicieIs sophistiqués autorisent l’exécution de calculs thermodynamiques trés performants tant au niveau de la conception de nouveaux matériaux et composants qu’à celui de procédés d’élaboration. Une action de la base de données européenne COST 507permet d’aborder facilement le développement de nouveaux alliages légers. Les données stockées concernent des domaines très vastes relatifs aux alliages d’aluminium, de titane et de magnésium. Quelques applications sont évoquées, en particulier celles relatives aux revêtements métastables, réfractaires par déposition en phase vapeur.
