Our databases are developed using a process called a CALPHAD Assessment, and the video explains what a CALPHAD assessment is and walks you step-by-step through the process. The assessment involves searching and evaluating all of the literature data, defining a Gibbs energy model depending on its crystal or chemical structure, fitting the model to the data and more.
In the video, we walk through an assessment of the arsenic tin (As-Sn) system to demonstrate how the process works, discussing each step and describing why it is done. You can watch the video and download the calculation files to follow along with your own assessment.
