Abstract
The phase-field method has emerged as
a method of choice for the description
of microstructure evolution and phase
transitions in metallic materials. Following
a general thermodynamic extremal
principle a set of evolution equations for
the structural variables of the system,
the so called phase-fields, are derived.
The paper reviews shortly the historical and
theoretical background of the multi-phase-
field method that is an extension of the
classical phase-field method to multi-phase
multi-component materials. Examples
are given from solidification, solid state
transformations and grain growth.
