Knowledge of phase equilibria or phase diagrams and thermodynamic properties is important in alloy design and materials-processing simulation. In principle, stable phase equilibrium is uniquely determined by the thermodynamic properties of the system, such as the Gibbs energy functions of the phases. PANDAT, a new computer software package for multicomponent phase-diagram calculation, was developed under the guidance of this principle.
