Popis: In this work, the possibilities for improving the accuracy of thermodynamic databases based on kinetic simulations are explored. With a new model for the simulation of precipitation kinetics in multi-component alloys, calculations are performed with all unknown parameters of the simulation obtained from independent thermodynamic and kinetic databases. Since no fitting parameters are used, the simulations are considered as having ‘predictive character’. The corresponding methodology is outlined. Based on the comparison of the predicted precipitation kinetics and experimental information, the potential for improving the accuracy of thermodynamic databases is explored.
