Heat Treatment Kinetics Pro vs GhostKey 1776 Edition Usage & Stats
The calculations are made with the sole help of the material and transformation dependent parameter - Apparent Activation Energy.
The target parameters are more specifically calculated using the well known Arrhenius equation (isothermal and/or non-isothermal). The basic model is also known as Hollomon & Jaffe.
The application calculates one of the parameters by imposing the others. The following 4 main options are available (each of them having another 2 options) :
1) Isothermal Conversion - TIME versus TEMPERATURE. Isothermal heat treatment time can be decreased by increasing the temperature. Conversely, the temperature can be decreased by increasing the heat treatment (soaking) time;
2) Heating Ramp Conversion. In this case it is possible to modify the start and end temperature (target parameters) in order to obtain the HEATING RATE or the start temperature and heating rate to calculate the END TEMPERATURE;
3) Isothermal to Heating Ramp. If the Isothermal heat treatment parameters are known for the desired properties, equivalent parameters can be calculated for a Heating Ramp, i.e. by imposing a start temperature and a heating rate it is possible to calculate the END TEMPERATURE or by choosing the start and end temperatures the software can calculate the HEATING RATE;
4) Heating Ramp to Isothermal. If the Heating Ramp heat treatment parameters are know for the desired properties, equivalent parameters can be calculated for an Isothermal, i.e. by imposing the temperature it is possible to calculate the TIME or by choosing time the software can
calculate the TEMPERATURE.
The Apparent Activation Energy is the sole material and transformation dependent parameter of the model. Apparent Activation Energy can extensively be found in the literature for the most of the phase transformations or diffusion reactions. Nevertheless his value can differ depending on desired property, chemical composition, thermo-mechanical history of the material and the model by which it was assessed. For improved precision it can be determined experimentally on the material that should be heat treated, as described in the literature.
The Heat Treatment Kinetics software can be a powerful tool for the reduction of costs and heat treatment optimisation. The purpose of the software is not to be a precision tool but rather an aide for laboratory research or process development.
As any mathematical model the current computation came with some limitations. It is strongly recommended to read the ''Caution'' section before any use of the application.
In the same time the input and output parameters were limited particularly for options implying heating ramps in order to reduce the risk of erroneous calculations as following :
- temperatures : -273.15 to 2000 °C;
- heating rates : 0.001 to 1000 °C/min.
If you want to help improving the software you can send by e-mail screenshot/s of parameters that did or did not work for you. In the same time please provide a full description of the material and temperature range of the transformation. The values of the material dependent apparent activation energies could be used for the integration in the future versions of the software.

“The memories I value most, I don’t ever see them fading.”
― Kazuo Ishiguro, Nobel Prize Winner
GhostKey™ is the first password un-manager. It is built on the philosophy that we all have engraved memories, tastes, and preferences that are unique to us. They are more secure than our biometrics, which are not secrets in themselves.
GhostKey™ 1776 Edition is for those who want total freedom. As a reward for the trailblazers we offer the following:
- Unlimited lifetime upgrades. You pay once for life.
- 3 special photo collages for you to generate passwords from, available only in the 1776 edition:
* 1776
* Trailblazer
* Trailblazer Junior.
- A free desktop version when this becomes available.
- A members only VIP feedback channel.
GhostKey™ provides three unique benefits over other password systems: security, simplicity, and enjoyment.
Security:
People used to memorize passwords or write them on a piece of paper. Current password managers convert that piece of paper into a digital form that needs to be protected, copied, and synchronized. GhostKey™ gets rid of that paper forever. It does not store any password or connect to any other machine. Instead, it computes passwords based on your memories, uses these to log you in, and then erases the computed passwords.
Because of the unique way that GhostKey™ works, it isn't vulnerable to brute force attacks in the same way as other password managers. GhostKey™ don't validate the results, so If the wrong memento is entered the computed a password is wrong. Each password GhostKey™ generates has a 118-bit entropy, which takes 63 billion years to crack, and each application or website has a different password, making your security virtually unbreakable.
Simplicity:
GhostKey™ was designed to disappear. We’ve reduced the number of touches to the bare minimum, speeding up your login experience. Instead of inventing passwords, you use existing memories, which we call Flashbacks and Mementos. A Flashback is entered once per device, while a memento is entered every time you log in. Using a Visual Memento renders the login experience as fast as using biometrics.
Enjoyment:
GhostKey™ is designed to be enjoyable as well as fast and secure. You log in using a combination of your favorite memories and photos chosen from a gallery of 300 beautiful images. Instead of enduring frustrations and anxiety, you'll enjoy logging in and out, because each time you do you will be reliving your special experiences.
GhostKey™ features include:
• Totally offline operation: nothing leaves your device.
• Beautiful photo-based login experience.
• Automatic anti-phishing measures.
• Personas™ to organize your accounts based on how you live your life.
• Guaranteed unique password for each website and application.
• Scramblers to create new passwords without changing your Memento.
• Total freedom: you choose how you want to express your memories.
