Latest: GRANTA MI 2.0. See, particularly, new data management features that help organizations with highly-regulated or safety-critical data. Plus enhanced ASME data. IntroductionMaterials, and the information that describes their properties and processing, are vital to enterprises involved in energy generation and nuclear engineering. The materials challenges for nuclear applications, whether for power generation or defense, are similar to those faced in aerospace. Organizations need to make the best use of alloys, composites, and ceramics under extreme conditions. Safety, quality, and accountability are paramount. These demand rigor in managing and using materials information - for example, ensuring that data used in design decisions can be traced to its source. Such requirements are met by our GRANTA MI materials information management software, developed in collaboration with the Material Data Management Consortium - a group of leading aerospace, defense, and energy organizations. Other energy applications, including conventional power generation, innovative technology such as fuel cells, or exploitation of renewable resources, require careful management of materials test data and application of all available information - whether in-house data or from Granta's reference data products - in order to optimize materials usage. Examples include selecting the right materials for a new application and substituting materials to reduce cost or meet environmental impact requirements.
