The CalPhaD (Calculation of Phase Diagrams) method is a powerful computational approach for predicting thermodynamic properties and phase equilibria in multicomponent systems. By combining experimental data with thermodynamic modeling, CalPhaD enables the simulation of complex material behaviors, accelerating the design of advanced alloys, ceramics, and functional materials. This method has become indispensable in fields such as metallurgy, additive manufacturing, and energy materials, where it facilitates the optimization of processing parameters and the discovery of novel compositions. This presentation provides an overview of the fundamental principles of CalPhaD, including its theoretical framework and the construction of thermodynamic databases. It highlights key applications, such as the calculation of complex phase equilibria and properties in high-performance materials, the simulation of solidification, and the prediction of phase stability under extreme conditions. However, despite its versatility, the CalPhaD method faces inherent limitations, including dependencies on data quality, challenges in modeling metastable phase equilibria and the consideration of kinetic effects. By critically assessing both the strengths and weaknesses of CalPhaD, this talk aims to offer a balanced perspective on its role in modern materials science—illustrating how it complements experimental approaches while identifying areas where further advancements are needed.
