Description
The Scientific Group Thermodata Europe (SGTE) is a consortium involved in the development and application of thermodynamic databanks for materials such as metals. Building on SGTE research, the second edition of this standard reference presents thermodynamic calculations as the basic tools in developing and optimizing various materials and processes. The SGTE Casebook: Thermodynamics at Work, Second Edition shows how this data can optimize the production and quality of steel and other alloys. The book explores phases stable at equilibrium as well as their amounts and compositions, and provides information about the degree of instability of the phases not present at equilibrium.
