It was recalled that CALPHAD kinetics had evolved into being a well-established discipline which permitted complex non-equilibrium processes to be explored fully. This success relied on the use of Redlich–Kister polynomials to describe atomic mobilities, with the effect of temperature, composition, magnetic ordering and chemical ordering being adequately taken into consideration. There was a resultant demand for the construction of high-quality atomic-mobility databases for alloys of interest. Based upon the CALPHAD framework, the atomic mobilities in face-centered cubic Cu–Ag–Au alloys were reported here; the results of which could provide valuable information for alloy design.
