Overview:

Phase diagrams to materials scientists are as maps to travelers. They guide us through the composition space to find phases fulfilling specific materials performance requirements. As phase diagrams are the graphic representations of minimizations of free energy under given constraints, computational thermodynamics significantly expands our capability to walk in the multi-component space of engineering materials. This symposium focuses on recent applications of phase diagrams in materials design and materials processing aimed at providing efficient routes in developing new materials and improving existing materials. Recent progress in computational thermodynamics is reviewed and case studies for a wide range of materials are presented. From the four oral sessions and one poster session, participants will find out how they can utilize phase diagrams and computational thermodynamics to both reduce cost and improve performance in their materials research and development.
