About the Webinar

This webinar introduced TAOS (The Alloy Optimization Software), a cross-platform tool developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to make alloy design faster, easier, and more accessible. With its intuitive interface and powerful back-end modeling, TAOS enables users in aerospace, automotive, power generation, electronics, and other industries to design new alloys based on target properties such as melting temperature or phase stability — without requiring deep expertise in materials science.

Key Topics Covered

  • How TAOS streamlines alloy design using CALPHAD modeling and a simple graphical interface
  • How to define constraints, explore compositions, and identify optimal candidates more quickly
  • Where and how to request the free three-month demo version of TAOS
  • Use cases and potential applications in alloy development and advanced manufacturing
  • Live Q&A with the lead developer from LLNL

Featured Speakers

Dr. Aurélien Perron – Materials Scientist and Deputy Group Leader, LLNL
