Description
This monograph acts as a benchmark to current achievements in the field of Computer Coupling of Phase Diagrams and Thermochemistry, often
called CALPHAD which is an acronym for Computer
CALculation of
PHAse
Diagrams. It
also acts as a guide to both the basic background of the subject area and the cutting edge of the topic, combining comprehensive discussions
of the underlying physical principles of the CALPHAD method with detailed descriptions of their application to real complex multi-component
materials.
Approaches which combine both thermodynamic and kinetic models to interpret non-equilibrium phase transformations are also
reviewed.
