Abstract

Recent developments of the phase-field concept and its applications in modeling microstructures evolving during solidification of multicomponent and multiphase alloys are reviewed and future directions of the method like e.g. coupling to thermodynamic databases or coupling between macroscopic process simulation and simulation of microstructure evolution are highlighted.
