ACerS-NIST Announce the Release of the Phase Equilibria Diagrams CD-ROM Database Version 3.1
Westerville, OH, Nov. 4: The American Ceramic Society (ACerS) and the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) announce the release of the ACerS-NIST Phase Equilibria
Diagrams CD-ROM Database Version 3.1.
Phase diagrams are used throughout the ceramics industry to understand and
control the complex phenomena that increasingly underlie advanced industrial production and materials performance. To
service the need for reliable phase diagram data, ACerS and NIST jointly publish a series of critically
evaluated phase diagrams.
ACerS-NIST Phase Equilibria Diagrams CD-ROM Database Version 3.1 contains
more than 20,000 diagrams previously published in phase volumes produced as part of the ACerS-NIST Phase
Equilibria Diagrams Program: Volumes I through XIV; Annuals 91, 92 and 93; High Tc
Superconductors I & II; Zirconium & Zirconia Systems; and Electronic Ceramics.
Enhanced search capabilities allow searches by authors, system components, language of the original publication, original publication year, series volume
number, full bibliographic reference of the paper, and figure captions from diagrams published in Phase Equilibria Diagrams volumes. The diagram preview
feature makes searching quick and easy and search results are displayed on the same page and list the records returned.
This new version offers full commentary text display in addition to diagram display. This searchable CD-ROM contains the same information as the
printed volumes with many additional features, including high-quality printing
and export capability. On-screen plotting can show any line types such as dotted, dash-dot, dash and solid. Files can be saved in both windows metafile
(.wmf) and bitmap (.bmp) formats.
Other features include:
-- Zoom-in capability with string-box function to select area
-- Built-in formula mass calculator with mol%-wt% and wt%-mol% conversion
-- Overlay of related diagrams with matched scale and turn-labels-off functionality
-- Cursor position display in diagram units where applicable
-- Reverse function for binary diagrams for switching of left and right components and analogous capability for ternaries
-- Curve follow function where appropriate
