A multiphase-field model previously proposed by the authors is reformulated in a thermodynamically consistent form and extended to multicomponent systems. The phase-field diffusion equations, derived from free energy functional, are compared those postulated previous limit of binary alloy. constraint local quasiequilibrium, which equivalent postulate equal potentials for coexisting phases, deduced variational principle. Solute partitioning evaluation thermodynamic driving force phase...
Thermo-physical data of the semi-solid region in directionally solidified materials are difficult to obtain by experiments, but at same time high importance for prediction casting defects like freckles, hot-tears, or micro-porosity, and further provide input mesoscopic macroscopic models. This paper shows how phase fractions, compositions, enthalpies, densities, as well melt permeability can be obtained whole range between liquidus solidus temperature, an integral alloy-specific freckle risk...

Abstract The development of a new steam turbine generation for use in advanced coal fired power plants with prospective operating temperatures beyond 700 °C and projected thermodynamic efficiency about 55 % requires, amongst other innovations, the partial substitution ferritic steels by wrought Ni‐base superalloys. Although alloys are already widely used aerospace industry, they faced demands regarding component size operation temperature, which far exceed current aero‐engine requirements....
Calculating microstructures for technical materials is an ambitious task which not only implies different length scales but also the complex thermodynamic properties of multicomponent and multiphase alloys. We report some recent progress in simulating microstructure evolution steels using multiphase-field software MICRESS®. Several applications are reviewed order to demonstrate current status applied phase-field techniques.
How can the microstructure of lightweight magnesium castings be controlled in industrial processes? By tuning alloy to process. To speed up search for optimal compositions related type casting process we employ CalPhad technique predicting stability primary and secondary phases Phase Field predict kinetics transformation morphology microstructure.

Understanding the complex phase transformations during additive manufacturing (AM) of low-alloy multi-phase steels is a necessary task to discover mechanisms that lead formation AM-specific, heterogeneous microstructures. In present study, investigations were carried out gain fundamental insights on microstructure evolution AM and upon post-AM heat-treatments. To this end, steel, with composition similar DP600 dual-phase (DP) was processed by laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF). Subsequently,...
The property of any material is essentially determined by its microstructure.
