Explore phase-field modeling techniques for simulating microstructural changes in materials undergoing corrosion in this 47-minute conference presentation. Learn how computational approaches can predict morphological and compositional evolution in corrosive environments, with specific focus on magnesium alloys in aqueous conditions and nickel-chromium alloys in molten salt environments. Discover how these models integrate bulk and interfacial thermodynamics, multi-phase and polycrystalline microstructures, along with diffusion and reaction kinetics to bridge length scales from nanoscale corrosion phenomena to microstructure-level material degradation. Examine selected simulation results that demonstrate the capability of phase-field methods to provide mechanistic insights for interpreting experimental observations, and understand the potential for integrating these computational tools with three-dimensional experimental data to achieve predictive understanding of corrosion processes critical for designing more durable engineering materials.
