Best Places to Start
-
ASM Alloy Phase Diagram CenterThe Alloy Phase Diagram Database is a fully-searchable database containing more than 39,200 binary and ternary alloy phase diagrams, each with their associated crystal and reaction data. Also includes all inorganic systems.
-
Materials Platform for Data Science (MPDS)The MPDS presents the materials data, extracted by the project PAULING FILE team from the scientific publications. Find crystallographic data, phase diagrams, and physical properties of inorganic crystalline substances under the same frame.
-
ACerS NIST Phase Equilibria Diagrams OnlineSource of phase diagrams for oxides, salts, carbides, nitrides, borides, compound semiconductors, and chalcogenides.
-
Protein Data BankWorldwide repository for the processing and distribution of 3-D biological macromolecular structure data.
