Introduction

Materials thermodynamics provides a fundamental framework for describing the relationships among temperature, pressure, composition, phase stability, chemical potential, and material properties. In metallurgical engineering, thermodynamic principles are particularly important for interpreting phase formation, solidification, transformations, alloy design, and processing conditions. Computational thermodynamics extends these principles by enabling researchers to evaluate complex systems and construct predictive descriptions for multicomponent materials. [3]
