The Department of Theoretical Process Metallurgy and Metallurgy of Nuclear Fuels at the RWTH Aachen and GTT-Technologies collaborate to offer a wide range of thermochemical services that support a growing interest in the application of thermochemistry to solving problems arising in the production and application of inorganic and organic materials. Such clients use the thermochemical services to reinforce their knowledge of the subject or to satisfy their need for additional data. Other clients use the full range of thermochemical services offered in order to enhance their research or customer service activities. In these cases, the benefits include the possibility to apply the knowledge and skills of acknowledged experts in the field directly to their problem, as well as to have the most recent technology and data at hand.
Clients find the speed and efficiency of the service results in a high degree of cost-effectiveness.
The nature, amounts and sequence of formation of condensed substances resulting from the cooling of the gases produced during incineration processes have been investigated for different waste compositions and cooling conditions, particular attention has been given to determining the conditions for formation of dioxins. Application of a Thermochemical Data Bank System to the Calculation of Metastable Phase Formation During PVD of Carbide, Nitride, and Boride Coatings Described is the attempt to use thermodynamic calculation methods to predict not only stable, but also metastable phase formation during PVD of carbide, nitride, and boride coatings.
