Abstract

The CALPHAD-type computational thermodynamic databases have been developed since 1970. Several commercial computational thermodynamic software equipped with comprehensive and accurate thermodynamic databases and fast Gibbs energy minimization routine are widely used in the design of new materials and the optimization of materials processing. In this study, the FactSage software, which is the most frequently accessed software in high temperature materials processing, is briefly overviewed. The current databases and on-going directions of the thermodynamic database development are discussed. Application examples of FactSage thermodynamics databases to steel processing from the iron ore sintering process to the final metallic coating process are presented. Lastly, the most recent and future application of the FactSage thermodynamic databases to virtual steelmaking process simulations for the so-called industry 4.0 (smart factory) is highlighted.
