What is the ACerS-NIST Phase Equilibria Diagrams Database?
The ACerS-NIST Phase Equilibria Diagrams Database is the primary product of the long-standing cooperative effort between the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and The American Ceramic Society (ACerS) to provide high-quality phase diagram data to the technical community. When the cooperative program was formalized in 1982, the computerization of all data activities was established as a major goal. As part of this effort, the Ceramic Phase Diagrams Data Center developed computer files for all references, commentaries, and chemical classification information, as well as the diagrams themselves, in graphics form. These computer files form the basis for the ACerS-NIST Phase Equilibria Diagrams Database.
