C.Banks Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 OpenOffice is not friendly towards Eucalc. NeatOffice works much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Johnson Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) October is underway and I don;t see a new version. I'd like copy. I'll start out giving it a try on Libre Office. So far that looks good. Edited October 12, 2021 by Bryan Johnson got calculator and tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Min Posted October 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 Hi Bryan, send me a PM for the email address you would like me to send it to you. Admin has been tied up with some glitches with the new CAN website so this has been on the back burner longer than anticipated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Min Posted November 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Links have been updated to the 1.91 version of the EuCal. User Guide (updated also) and the EuCal can be read and used by anyone, the link to the 2018 CM article is behind a paywall but everyone can access 3 free articles a month so it's available that way to people without a subscription. All links in the first post in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjorn.lindberg Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 Hello, @BobMagnuson thank you for the nice software. Question, any idea where would I be able to find a list of other eutectic systems? I assume there are systems that incorporate say sodium, magnesium, silica and alumina? That potentially would have a lower melting point than a system with only magnesium, silica and alumina? It is one of those cases where it is hard to know what to look for, google turns up mostly unrelated papers behind paywalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobMagnuson Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 The most authoritative resource is probably ACerS-NIST Phase Equilibria Diagrams. The current version is called PHASE 5.0, I think. The big problem is that it is WAY expensive...well over $1000 for a single user. I have never had access to the full version. It's possible some university libraries might have it. In the past, they offered a demo version that I found quite helpful. I don't know if that is still available. As you can see, tracking down reliable information on ceramic eutectics is not at all easy. Good luck! bjorn.lindberg and Hulk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The demo version have some data but most of the time it makes me wonder what I am looking at, lol. I will dig some more I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Banks Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 anyone else having an issue with the two cells for strontium and magnesium eutectic toggle converting to true/false(1/0) and away from the check boxes? Some files work and some files don't. I thought maybe saving as different file types/versions might help but no luck with the few simpleton type efforts could muster. It's no big deal. I've been loading old files with working Sr/Mg eutectic cells but it's getting more annoying. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought maybe if it was an easy fix i could save myself the occasional hassle but I'm only working on the odd project that benefits from EuCal. I'm illiterate when it comes to excel so I'm just thankful to have it. Hulk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobMagnuson Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 On my system, if I make changes to the spreadsheet and then save it with a new name, the next time I call it up Excel comes up with a Security Warning and I click "Enable Content", then "Yes" to make the file a trusted document. This needs to be done whenever the file name is changed. Hulk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I copied an old entry and the new cells work fine - problem solved. Edited December 10, 2023 by C.Banks Hulk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Banks Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 (edited) Has anyone got the trial version of ACerS-NIST PHASE diagrams to run? All I got was what seemed like a forever loading bar on the title screen. Has anyone tried 5.1? I'm unsure how useful they are to me but maybe if I stare at the diagrams long enough some hidden 3d image will appear. https://ceramics.org/publications-resources/phase-equilibrium-diagrams/ *it look slike the trial version is completely gone Edited January 13 by C.Banks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobMagnuson Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 I was able to download, extract and use ACerS-NIST PED Demo from: https://www.nist.gov/srd/nist-standard-reference-database-31 It's a fairly large file, so it does take a while to download.

Now it doesn't want to open/install. I get the blank page file:///D:/PEDEditor.jar with nothing further. It's not too important. I just wanted to see if I could make any sense of it. I might have enjoyed a career in material science or ceramic engineering 40 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
