  38. SUMMARY of OptiCorr Project - New and improved databases - Use of ChemApp in advanced environments - Process models for improved understanding of phase formation - under molten salt layer - in an oxygen containing atmosphere - on cooling of gas Outlook on future options: * improved database needed on salts (experiments!) * better model for the combustion process and the precipitation possibly coupled with CFD

  39. THANK YOU for your attention !

  40. Final actions: - Applied calculations guided by the other project partners, e.g. „open system“ calcs., but also „point tests“, a simple gas precipitation model using ChemSheet - One-dimensional mappings for all test alloys (without corrosive environment) - Potential diagrams for test alloys under various conditions

  41. Database work executed : - Metal Subsystem in close co-operation with HUT: Mietinen database rejected, GTT own database improved, especially Fe-Mn-S subsystem thoroughly checked, Fe- Ce added on request by RAU, Fe-Co-Cr and Ni-Co-Cr re-assessed - Salt Subsystem using the quasi-chemical next nearest neighbour interaction model from CRCT Montreal: K+,Zn2+,Fe2+,Fe3+,Cr2+,Cr3+,Ni2+//Cl-,SO42-,CrO42- system has been assessed or estimated - Oxide Subsystem data needed could be taken from FACT database - Sulphide Subsystem FeS-MnS subsystem was taken from literature (including solid solutions), other sulphides are treated as stoichiometric
