What is FactSage?
FactSage is a comprehensive suite of software and databases designed for thermochemical analysis, developed through a partnership between Thermfact/CRCT, situated in Montreal, Canada, and GTT-Technologies, based in Aachen, Germany. Since its introduction in 2001, it has integrated the features of the FACT-Win/FAC*T and ChemSage/SOLGASMIX thermochemical tools, which are the result of over twenty years of collaborative research efforts. This software provides a variety of modules that facilitate information retrieval, database access, calculations, and data manipulation, effectively addressing the needs of a broad spectrum of pure substances and solution data. It caters to a wide range of users, including professionals in industry, governmental organizations, and academic institutions, spanning fields such as materials science, pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy, electrometallurgy, corrosion science, glass technology, combustion, ceramics, and geology. Users benefit from a wealth of thermodynamic data for numerous compounds and can access curated databases for hundreds of solutions, which include metals, oxides, slags, mattes, salts, and various aqueous solutions. Consequently, FactSage stands out as an essential resource for experts in search of dependable thermochemical information and analysis, making significant contributions to their research and development endeavors. Its ongoing updates and improvements ensure that it remains at the forefront of thermochemical software solutions.
