Phase field modeling for the morphological and microstructural evolution of metallic materials under environmental attack

Abstract The complex degradation of metallic materials in aggressive environments can result in morphological and microstructural changes. The phase-field (PF) method is an effective computational approach to understanding and predicting the morphology, phase change and/or transformation of material...
