Scientific Group Thermodata Europe

SGTE is a consortium of centers engaged in the development of thermodynamic databanks for inorganic and metallurgical systems and their application to practical problems.

Our aims are:

• The provision, maintenance and expansion of high quality databases, that enable the user to undertake complex calculations of chemical equilibrium efficiently and reliably.
• Cooperation in a broader international effort to unify thermodynamic data and assessment methods; also to promote collaborative efforts.
• The SGTE databases are under constant development.

Our members help customers by providing consultancy services in the field of thermochemistry, holding workshops, and providing software packages including SGTE databases. An organisation that wishes to apply thermochemistry to solve practical problems, or to participate in workshops, should contact one of the below listed centers.

Customers currently benefit from problem-solving in the following fields

• Pyrometallurgy
• Hydrometallurgy
• Waste processing
• Inorganic chemicals
• Aqueous and high temperature corrosion
• Energy conversion
• Alloy development
• Ceramics, pigments, fillers
• Materials compatibility handling
• Safety assessment
• Pollution control
• Chemical vapour deposition
• Crystal growth
• Electronic and magnetic materials development
• Joining (solders, welding, brazing)
