FactSage©,
is one of the largest fully integrated database computing systems in chemical
thermodynamics in the world. It runs on a PC operating under Microsoft
Windows. It was introduced in 2001 and is the fusion of the FACT-Win/F*A*C*T
and ChemSage/SOLGASMIX
thermochemical
packages. FactSage
is the result of over 20 years of collaborative efforts between
Thermfact/CRCT
(Montreal, Canada) and
GTT-Technologies
(Aachen, Germany).
With FactSage
you can calculate the conditions for multiphase, multicomponent equilibria in a
wide range of materials systems. For example, calculation can be made of
many different types of phase diagram section; matte/metal/slag/gas/solid
equilibria; multi-component predominance and EpH diagrams; the course of
equilibrium or non-equilibrium solidification; complex heat balances; etc.
Results can be presented using a wide variety of tabular and graphical output
modes.
FactSage has several hundred industrial, governmental and academic users in materials science, pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy, electrometallurgy, corrosion, glass technology, combustion, ceramics, geology, etc. It is used internationally in graduate and undergraduate teaching and research.
