Abstract We briefly review the state-of-the-art in phase-field modeling of microstructure evolution. The focus is placed on recent applications of phase-field simulations of solid-state microstructure evolution and solidification that have been compared and/or validated with experiments. They show the potential of phase-field modeling to make quantitative predictions of the link between processing and microstructure. Finally, some current challenges in extending the application of phase-field models within the context of integrated computational materials engineering are mentioned.
