Discover how Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is making metal alloy design faster, easier, and more accessible with TAOS – The Alloy Optimization Software.
TAOS is a cross-platform tool that helps users design new alloys based on target properties like melting temperature or phase stability — without requiring deep expertise in materials science. With an intuitive interface and powerful back-end modeling, TAOS allows users in aerospace, automotive, power generation, electronics and more to screen large multicomponent systems in minutes using a standard computer. This enables non-experts to develop new complex metal alloys for unique industrial applications in an accelerated, flexible and cost-efficent way.
The software is currently being packaged for broad use, and a free demo version is available under an evaluation license. This webinar will show how TAOS works and how you can access and use the tool to explore its potential in your own materials development efforts — a growing demand in various manufacturing industries.
What You’ll Learn:
- How TAOS streamlines metal alloy design using CALPHAD modeling and a simple graphical interface
- How to define constraints, explore compositions, and identify optimal candidates in less time
- Where and how to request the free three-month demo version of TAOS for evaluation
- Use cases and potential applications in alloy development and advanced manufacturing
- Live Q&A with the lead developer from LLNL
- Try TAOS for Yourself
Attendees interested in evaluating the tool can request a free demo version through LLNL’s software portal. Request the demo »
Featured Speaker: Dr. Aurélien Perron
Dr. Aurélien Perron is a materials scientist and Deputy Group Leader in the Actinides and Lanthanide Science group of the Materials Science Division at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) whose research focuses on alloy design, thermodynamic modeling, and microstructure evolution. He leads projects at LLNL focusing on alloy optimization and software development such as the “Advanced computational thermodynamics and kinetics” project under the Critical Materials Innovation Hub and “TAOS” under the Technology Transfer Tech Mat Grants Program (NA-10.1), with the goal of applying CALPHAD methods to accelerate the discovery and application of new alloys.
