Materials constitution and computational thermodynamics in the context of 100 years of IJMR – Zeitschrift für Metallkunde

Abstract

Abstract The research areas of materials constitution and computational thermodynamics have traditionally been covered by numerous publications in the International Journal of Materials Research – Zeitschrift für Metallkunde. From the very beginning in the year 1909 experimental work and also the modelling of thermodynamic functions and phase diagram calculations were presented. Since the early 1970s results of Calphad-type modelling including thermodynamic database developments were also published by numerous groups. The use of computational thermodynamics for multi-component materials design (metal alloys, ceramics, composites) are an additional focus of recent works.
