Computational Metallurgy

Abstract

This chapter is an overview on computational material science methods applied to understanding the process-microstructure-property relationships of metallic material systems, or computational metallurgy. The emphasis will be on modeling and predicting the stability (thermodynamics) and the temporal/spatial evolution (kinetics) of microstructures, or computational microstructural science using a combination of electronic/atomistic level first-principles calculations of structures and thermodynamic properties of individual structural phases in a microstructure and interfaces and mesoscale microstructure evolution models.
