New and Updated Material Data in Version 6.4
In version 6.4, the Material Library contains 18,806 materials and 181,117 material property datasets. The following improvements and additions have been made:
•
New materials include acids, fluorides, and rare earth alloys.
•
New references for the thermal diffusivity of Inconel 718 and 718SF were added. The values near room temperature have been increased by 50% (from 0.012 to 0.027 cm2/s). At higher temperatures, the changes were a few percent.
•
The heat capacity heat for liquid He was too low by a factor of 16. That value has been corrected.
•
Mg – 4 Li (wt %) has been renamed to Mg – 12.7 Li (at %), and the thermal expansion has been revised.
•
The specific heat data for G-10CR and G-11CR were too high by a factor of 10. These datasets and the thermal diffusivity datasets have been corrected.
•
The specific heat units for Tefzel 200, 210, and 280 were wrong in the reference. These errors have been fixed.
•
The density data for the CaCl2 – MgCl2 system were mislabeled in the reference and have been fixed.
•
The thermal conductivity for C12H26 (n-dodecane) was too high by a factor of 100. This error has been fixed.
•
The reference for the elastic properties of PbTe has been changed; the new values are significantly different.
•
The reference for the thermal conductivity and diffusivity for liquid 316 stainless has been changed. The new values are 50% larger.
•
The thermal expansion data for FLiNaK, (LiNaK)2CO3, and LiF(NaK)2CO3 used an incorrect temperature scale and have been fixed.
•
The composition labels for the n-octane/cyclohexane mixes have been reversed.
•
The heat capacity and specific heat data for LiBr should only go down to 293 K, not 100 K. This error has been fixed.
•
The reference for the electrical resistivity and conductivity for LaB6 has been changed. Above 200 K, the differences are within 10%; below 200 K they are larger.
•
The specific heat data for ErPdIn and YbPdIn were incorrect. The wrong molecule weight was used in the conversion but has now been corrected.
•
Several minerals have been combined into one material.
•
Thermal diffusivity data have been added for some aluminum alloys.
•
The specific heat of 310 stainless has been revised. The reference had a discontinuity near 47 K. This error has been corrected.
•
The specific heat of R-449A (a hydrocarbon refrigerant) was incorrect and has been revised.
•
New references have been added for the thermal conductivity of Inconel 625; values were changed by approximately 5%.
•
The various different phases for TiO2 (rutile, anatase, and brookite) have been combined under the material name TiO2.
