The noble metal alloy database (NOBL)
The NOBL database contains approximately 60 completely assessed binary alloy systems, together with 5 ternary and 1 quaternary system for which assessed parameters are available for phases of practical relevance. The database contains evaluated thermodynamic parameters for alloys of
Ag, Au, Ir, Os, Pd, Pt, Rh, Ru
alloyed amongst themselves and also in alloys with the metals
Al, As, Bi, C, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ge, In, Mg, Ni, Pb, Sb, Si, Sn, Ta, Te, Ti, Tl, Zn, Zr.
The database will often be used with one of the noble metals as major component, but in a number of applications, large concentrations of alloying elements are present. For this reason, and whenever possible, the assessed parameters in the noble metal alloys database cover the entire composition range of the alloys involved.
The assessed data for the binary and ternary sub-systems of Au-Pd-Pt-Sn allow calculations relevant to dental alloy development.
