Materials Science & Engineering Research: Phase Diagrams
MSI Eureka
- Direct, IP-controlled access via the Internet or
- Using the MSI Eureka Viewer (client software, downloaded to your personal computer). The Viewer provides a much higher degree of interactivity with the data in the diagrams and reports. Click here for instructions on how to download and install the client software.
MSI Eureka is a research and information platform that compiles and critically evaluates data on materials constitution, phase diagrams, crystal structure, etc., for a wide variety of material types and systems.
The database covers alloys (steels, bronzes, magnets, electronic materials, and more); non-metals (ceramics, sensors, semiconductors, and more); and composites (cermets and more).
In addition to phase diagrams, it contains over 4,000 evaluation reports written by a global team of scientists affiliated with MSIT. The phase diagrams and evaluative reports are linked to bibliographic citations to the literature, which covers the period from 1830 to the present and are drawn from over 250 journals and grey literature that MSI monitors.
There are two ways to access the database:

Aids to Finding and Using Phase Diagrams
- Phase Diagrams - Understanding the Basics
Describes the basic principles, construction, interpretation, and use of alloy phase diagrams and includes ample illustrations for all important liquid and solid reactions. Gas-metal reactions, important in metals processing and in-service corrosion, also are discussed. - Phase Diagrams: A Literature Source Book, J. Wisniak, 2 vols., 1981+1986 Supplement
