Thermodynamic database MALT for Windows with gem and CHD

Abstract

We have revised the thermodynamic database MALT to match the window's environments and also to make it bilingual (English and Japanese). The main characteristic features are described with an emphasis on those functions which will be available in the new version. To facilitate the application of thermodynamic analysis on materials development and process analysis, the database MALT provides generalized programs for calculating chemical equilibria and constructing chemical potential diagrams. MALT encourages users to utilize thermodynamic data in the databases as well as their own in thermodynamic analysis on their own materials/processes problems. To facilitate it, MALT provides the function called “MALT Direct,” which can make access to the data users prepare, and can utilize them in their own programs written in Pascal and compiled in Delphi. Some functions of the generalized calculation programs, gem and CHD, are also described in this report.
