More about PanNb Database

PanNiobium – Thermodynamic database (TH), Mobility database (MB), and Molar volume (MV) database for multi-component Niobium-rich alloys.

  • The PanNb_TH thermodynamic database consists of 13 components, 131 phases and 93 fully assessed binary and ternary systems. The database is validated by many refractory alloys.
  • The PanNb_MB mobility database assessed mobility model parameters for the Liquid, Bcc, Fcc, and Hcp solution phases. It is compatible with the PanNb_TH and suitable for the simulation of diffusion controlled phenomena of multi-component niobium alloys.
  • The PanNb_MV molar volume database covers all the 131 phases assessed in PanNb_TH, and can be combined with the thermodynamic database for the simulation of thermo-physical properties of Nb-based alloys, such as density, thermal expansion, and solidification shrinkage.

Applications

An example compares the simulated solidification paths with an experimentally observed micrograph for the six- component Nb-22Ti-2Hf-4Cr-3Al-16Si alloy. The primary solidified phase is Nb5Si3.

Coupling PanNb_TH thermodynamic database with PanNb_MB mobility database, user can calculate mobility and diffusivity, and simulate diffusion controlled phenomena. Integrating PanNb_TH with PanNb_MV, molar volume, density, thermal expansion, and other properties can be calculated for niobium alloys. This is an example which compares the calculated and measured molar volume of Nb-Ti Bcc alloys.
