Abstract

Phase-field modeling has developed as an important tool in investigating microstructural evolution in a variety of phenomena such as solidification, solid-state phase transformations, electrochemical reactions, mechanical deformation and fracture processes, and also domain evolution in ferro-electric materials. Given the strong thermodynamic basis for the formulation of these models, they can be used to obtain strong predictions about structural pattern formation as a function of the material processing parameters. In this chapter, I will first give a brief history of the evolution in phase-field modeling, thereafter discuss the ingredients of a particular phase-field formulation, starting from the construction of the functional and the eventual derivation of the evolution equations of the order-parameters and the relevant state-variables. I will then utilize the formulation to highlight, how some of the phenomena regarding interdiffusion in a diffusion couple can be captured. Subsequently, I will place the model in the context of modeling real alloys with the incorporation of thermodynamic information from CALPHAD databases and mobilities from kinetic databases.
