The Alloy Phase Diagram International Commission (APDIC)
Phase diagrams are fundamental to materials science in terms of the extraction of metals, their processing to marketable products, and their end usage. To this end APDIC was formed in 1986, Orlando, Fla., to assist in coordinating international activities for alloy phase diagram assessment. The original aims were to help meet the needs of the world-wide technical community in the field of phase diagrams by coordinating overall objectives for members' programs and publications, establishing priorities in relation to the technological requirements of industry and commerce, coordinating among members to reduce duplication of effort, helping to set quality standards for phase diagram assessment, helping to ensure effective dissemination of data arising from the various programs, and promoting assessment programs world-wide.
Originally consisting of 10 member organizations, with huge support from ASM International and the (then) Institute of Metals, the commission has grown to include 17 members representing 22 countries from North and South America, Europe, and Asia. The original aims of APDIC were largely completed some years ago, with most members' publication programs complete. Achievements as part of this international cooperative effort include over 70 published volumes on binary and ternary alloy systems totaling some 50,000 pages.
APDIC has moved with the times, and has developed into a group working together to exchange information and minimize duplication of effort, and provide top quality databases and phase diagram information for both binary and ternary systems, and real multicomponent commercial systems using the latest technology. APDIC organizes a World Round Robin Seminar (WRRS) series, primarily educational for researchers in industry and students, and presents an annual Best Paper Award and Industrial Award. Information is available via CD and online services.
