What is the difference between the F*A*C*T and SGTE databases?
The F*A*C*T data is comprised of the FACT53 compound and FToxid, FTsalt, FThall, FTmisc and FThelg coupled (i.e. compound and solution) databases. The SGTE data consists of the SGTE2004 coupled databases. The F*A*C*T and SGTE compound databases are quite similar and have identical data for the standard state elements. On the other hand the F*A*C*T and SGTE solution databases are very different and tend to complement each other. The F*A*C*T solution databases are directed more towards chemical metallurgy and chemical processing in general and includes solutions such as slags, ceramics, glasses, salts, mattes, dilute alloys, aqueous solutions, etc. The SGTE solution database is more directed towards metal systems for materials applications and alloy development and has very extensive data on solid solution alloys.
