Calphad (Calculation of Phase Diagrams): A Comprehensive Guide - A Comprehensive Guide

Zusammenfassung Covers the achievements in the field of Computer Coupling of Phase Diagrams and Thermochemistry, called CALPHAD (acronym for Computer CALculation of PHAse Diagrams). This title combines discussions of the underlying physical principles of the CALPHAD method with descriptions of their application to real complex multi-component materials.
