4 Databases in FactSage Brief History of FactSage Database Development 1976~2001: FACT 2001~present: FactSage (a fusion of FACT + ChemSage) < 1998 : FACT database (before 1998) 1999~2003 : FACT53 database 2000~2004 : FACT Consortium project (2000~2004): 16 companies pyrometallurgy (ferrous, non-ferrous), hydrometallurgy-corrosion, glassmaking - FACT53 database FToxid, FTmisc, FThall, FTsalt, FThelg,.. - New alloy databases: FSstel, FSlite, FScopp, SGTE,. 2004~2010 : Mini-consortiums - Al consortium (Alcoa, Alcan, and Norsk-Hydro) - Glass consortium (Corning, Schott, and Saint-Gobain) - Light alloy (Al, Mg) consortium (Al consortium, GM, MagNET): FTlite 2009~present : Mini-consortiums - Al consortium (3 companies), Glass consortium (3 companies) - Steelmaking consortium: 11 companies Consortium database ( CON1 or CON2 ) Database Selection for Ferrous Applications 4

5 Databases in FactSage for Steelmaking Applications FactPS (pure substances database): All gaseous species, stoichiometric solid and liquid species (organic, inorganic) Similar to thermodynamic tables like JANAF, Barin-Kubaschewski. (When you need a Gas phase you always have to select this database). FToxid: Frequently updated oxide database containing - many solution phases (slag, spinel, monoxide, olivine, etc.) - pure solid and liquid oxides, no gas phase FTmisc: FeLq solution - most reliable liquid steel database for steelmaking calculations (slags/refractories/gases/molten iron) FSstel: solid and liquid steel phases (also includes a small number of gases, oxides, sulfides, nitrides, etc.) - for steel solidification and alloy design. - liquid steel: reasonable calculations for steelmaking applications For steelmaking calculations: priority: FToxid > FeLq > FactPS (In the FactSage 6.4 and later versions, the best selections of compounds among multiple compound databases are provided automatically. But solutions must be selected carefully.) Database Selection for Ferrous Applications 5

9 FTmisc (FeLq) and FSstel FeLq Liquid Fe containing Ag,Al,B,Ba,C,Ca,Ce,Co,Cr,Cu,H,Hf,La,Mg,Mn,Mo,N,Nb,Nd,Ni,O,P,Pb,Pd,S,Si, Sn,Ta,Th,Ti,U,V,W,Zr. This phase is better suited for calculations involving iron and steelmaking processes (optimized for iron-rich solutions only). Based on the Unified Interaction Parameter Formalism (more advanced than classical Wagner Interaction Parameter Formalism) with associate model for deoxidation. Many interaction parameters between metallic elements are taken from JSPS (Japanese compilation) FSstel database FCC/BCC: Fe / Carbide / Nitride are all treated as FCC phases Fe with N and C : use J option (possible 3-phase immiscibility). Fe with N or C : use I option (possible 2-phase immiscibility). Also recommend to use I option for BCC phase See Fe-Ti-Nb-C-N example. Liquid: O and S are treated by the associate model FCC ordered phase (FCC_L12), BCC ordered phase (BCC_B2) normally slow down the calculations significantly. If you are not really interested in order/disorder transitions, do not select these phases. Carbon: when C content is lower than ~ 1%, Fe 3 C (metastable) phase is normally formed instead of C (stable). So, in the selection of solid phases, deselect C solid.
