Abstract
The phase-field method is very powerful in numerical simulation of microstructures. Great progress has been achieved by using phase-field method in numerical simulation of solidification microstructures. In this paper, progress in phase-field simulation of solidification microstructures of multi-component multi-phase alloys in recent years is reviewed. Based on the introduction of multi-phase-field models, the progress in phase-field simulation of solidification microstructures is discussed in details from three aspects: multi-component alloys, multi-phase alloys and multi-component multi-phase alloys. The existing problems and development trends in this field are also pointed out.
