Does it make sense to use the FACT and the SGTE databases simultaneously?
Yes if you are interested in a combination of phases that are mutually exclusively stored in the FACT and the SGTE databases. This holds for example for calculations of corrosion of alloys. The alloy phase data are stored in the SGSLbase and SGSLsoln database files whereas the possible corrosion products (oxides or salts, both as solutions or pure substances) are contained in the FS50Base and FS50Soln database files. 2.
