Yamdb: Easily Accessible Thermophysical Properties of Liquid Metals and Molten Salts

Open Access
|Aug 2025

Abstract

Yamdb (Yet another materials data base) addresses the need to provide thermophysical properties of liquid metals and molten salts in an easily accessible manner. Mathematical relations describing material properties – usually determined by experiment – are taken from the literature. Equations and their coefficients are stored separately. The former can be implemented in any programming language (Python and Go in this case) and the latter are kept in YAML files together with additional information (source, temperature range, composition, accuracy if available, etc). Yamdb should be of interest to researchers in high-temperature electrochemistry, metallurgy, and liquid metal magnetohydrodynamics.
