Molar Volume Database

PanCu2026_MV is a molar volume database for Cu-based alloys, which is compatible with the MDTCu2026_TH thermodynamic database and suitable for the simulation of thermophysical properties of Cu-based alloys, such as density, thermal expansion, solidification shrinkage etc.

Phases

The current molar volume database covers all 330 phases assessed in the MDTCu2026_TH database

Database Validation

The simulated density changes vs. temperature of a series of Cu-based alloys are shown below to validate the current PanCu2026_MV database.
