Thermodynamic coupling in the computation of dendrite growth kinetics for multicomponent alloys

The growth kinetics of a dendrite tip are paramount importance for microstructure modelling in materials science and engineering. However, theories multicomponent alloys limited, primarily due to approximations the relevant thermodynamic data. present contribution first reports on pragmatic implementation general framework coupled with equilibrium calculations. It is applied widely used IN718 nickel-base superalloy. Discussions output model based comparisons commonly found alloys. Finally, remaining issues reach applications at high rates given, paving way future developments.
