Summary of Phase Diagram Activities in the UK
Materials Chemistry Committee
Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining
Summary Report to APDIC, May 2021
When the Materials Chemistry Committee of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining
was formed (as the Phase Diagram Committee of the Institute of Metals) its main task was
to coordinate critical assessment and experimental work on phase diagrams within the
UK and disseminate this information to industry. As part of this dissemination, the
committee authored a number of phase diagram reviews that were published by the
Institute. Its remit now, as the MCC, is to represent the members of the IOM3 who have
an interest in Materials Chemistry and is therefore more diverse in its activities.
The membership of the committee is a balance between providers and users of phase
diagram and thermodynamic information and benefits from a strong industrial input.
The committee provides a forum to identify industrial needs, a discussion group
between specialists and a focus within the IOM3 for active national and international
collaboration on the provision of assessed data, on modelling, and on theoretical and
computational aspects of phase equilibria in materials. The current Chairman of this
committee is Dr. Andy Watson, now associated with Hampton Thermodynamics Ltd.
The committee is interested in all aspects of the phase equilibria, including metastable
equilibria and kinetics, in all classes of engineering materials and covering both
fundamental and applied topics. It recognises the vital role that reliable information
on both phase diagrams themselves and on the rates of approach to equilibrium play
in under-pinning many spheres of materials science and technology. The Materials
Chemistry committee is concerned not only with metals and alloys but also ceramics,
slags, salts, semiconductors, superconductors, glass, nuclear materials and polymers.
The committee encourages all aspects of experimental and theoretical work relating to
phase equilibria in materials systems ranging from direct studies of phase diagrams
and the determination of thermodynamic mixing parameters, to the thermodynamic
modelling of phases and ab initio calculations of phase stability and microstructure.
Although an interest in phase diagrams and thermodynamics lies at the core of what
we do, our emphasis is now on promotion of the field within the UK Materials Science
Community itself. This has led to a number of initiatives by the MCC that have been
actively pursued in recent years. The MCC feels that it has been reasonably successful,
particularly through the popular Hume-Rothery Seminars and the Annual
Thermodynamics of Materials Symposia. However, the IOM3 is undergoing a substantial
review and restructuring of its technical communities and it is unclear whether the
MCC will be able to continue in its present guise, nevertheless the members of the
committee will endeavour to remain active within APDIC if at all possible.
APDIC report 2021-UK-text report.docx 1 Tuesday, June 15, 2021Meetings AToMS2020 The third in the series of Annual Thermodynamics of Materials Symposia (AToMS) was due to be held at Downing College in the University of Cambridge on the 23rd of July 2020. Of course, because of restrictions regarding travel at the time, the meeting was cancelled. However, AToMS2021 will go ahead online in July this year. Interactions with Other APDIC members APDIC MSI Andy Watson continues to work with MSI on their evaluation programme, culminating with publication of volume 20 of Ternary Alloys. Andy was joint editor with Aleš Kroupa (CAS, Brno, Czech. Rep., APDIC-Associated Committee). APDIC report 2021-UK-text report.docx 2 Tuesday, June 15, 2021
Andy was also heavily involved with the 5th MSIT Winter School on Materials Chemistry along with Hari Kumar from Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, (APDIC India). APDIC Russia (NCRTAC) & APDIC Sweden Alan Dinsdale continues to work with colleagues at MISiS (NCRTAC), and in addition with friends from KTH (APDIC Sweden) on the 3rd generation of unary data for the elements. Awards and Prizes Like many learned societies and Institutions, the IOM3 gives a number of awards and prizes each year. The two awards most closely associated with the MCC are the Hume- Rothery Prize, which is awarded ‘in recognition of distinguished achievements concerned with phase relationships in metallic materials or non-metallic materials of metallurgical interest,’ and the Kroll Medal, which is awarded ‘in recognition of significant contribution that has enhanced the scientific understanding of materials chemistry as applied to the industrial production of materials, normally inorganic.’ We are pleased to announce that the winner of the 2020 Hume-Rothery Prize was Klaus Hack, recently retired from GTT Technologies.
