The study of phase diagrams and phase equilibria is not new, but the information gained is fundamental to Materials Science. The advent of Computational Thermodynamics has unleashed the ´power´ of the phase diagram resulting in a tool that can be used to give an insight into anything from multicomponent, multiphase equilibria to surface tension and microstructural simulation. The creation of the robust self-consistent thermodynamic databases that the technique requires needs a fair amount of effort, but the savings in both time and cost in relation to expansive experimental programmes can be substantial.
