Fachausschuss Thermodynamik, Kinetik und Konstitution der Werkstoffe

German Society for Materials

Thermodynamics, Kinetics and Constitution of Materials Committee

Scope

• Experimental and theoretical methods to determine thermodynamic data and phase diagrams
• Evaluation of constitutional data and phase diagrams
• Thermodynamic modeling of multicomponent and multiphase material systems, including atomistic approaches
• Combination of thermodynamic modeling with simulation of reactor processes as well as with micro- and macro-kinetics, such as simulation of microstructure formation in multicomponent and multiphase materials
• Development of integrated thermodynamic-kinetic databases
  
  

The goals are

• Applications of databases and computer simulations in materials and process optimization
• Interdisciplinary discussion forum for basic and applied research in these fields
• Coordination of member activities in the German-speaking region and networking with international activities:
  1. MSIT, Materials Science International Team
  2. Alloy Phase Diagram International Commission (APDIC)
  3. Scientific Group Thermodata Europe (SGTE)
  4. ASM International: Phase Diagram Committee
  5. TMS: Alloy Phases Committee
     
     

Chair

The current chair is Prof. Hans Seifert (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology).
