NIST Alloy Data

The NIST Alloy data web app provides access to thermophysical property data for unary, binary, and ternary metal systems.

Data collection started with a trial system of aluminum, magnesium, and silicon in 2014 as a collaboration with the Materials Genome Initiative. Since then, data coverage has expanded to include the majority of elements.

Features

Public access to thermophysical data for metal-based systems

Detailed descriptions of datasets, including purity, processing, and uncertainty data from each experiment and full citations for each data point

Varied search options based on selected metallic elements

Citation Guide

TRC requests that works utilizing NIST Alloys include citations.
