摘要	CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse Diagrams) is a computational method for predicting thermodynamic equilibrium properties and phase diagrams of multicomponent alloys. Pioneered by Larry Kaufman in 1970, CALPHAD combines experimental and computational data to assess thermodynamic properties of phases and subsequently predict equilibrium conditions. It is the standard methodology in physical metallurgy and materials design for alloy development, process optimization, and understanding phase stability.	Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a numerical technique for obtaining approximate solutions to boundary value problems described by differential equations. Developed systematically by Richard Courant in 1943 and popularized by Clough in the 1960s, FEA divides a complex domain into smaller, simpler elements to solve engineering problems involving stress, strain, heat transfer, and fluid flow. It is the dominant computational method in materials science for predicting material behavior under various loading conditions.
