The Scientific Group Thermodata Europe (SGTE) is a consortium of European andAmerican research groups developing thermodynamic databases and software to model the thermodynamic properties of metals and other materials. Understandingthese properties is critical to improving the processing of metals and their performance in such areas as resistance to high-temperature corrosion.
