## Abstract In this article we discuss the local existence and uniqueness of solutions of a system of parabolic differential partial equations modeling the process of solidification/melting of a certain kind of alloy. This model governs the evolution of the temperature field, as well as the evoluti

Abstract
We consider an anisotropic phase‐field model for the isothermal solidification of a binary alloy due to Warren–Boettinger ( Acta. Metall. Mater. 1995; 43(2):689). Existence of weak solutions is established under a certain convexity condition on the strongly non‐linear second‐order anisotropic operator and Lipschitz and boundedness assumptions for the non‐linearities. A maximum principle holds that guarantees the existence of a solution under physical assumptions on the non‐linearities. The qualitative properties of the solutions are illustrated by a numerical example. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

## Abstract The phase‐field method provides a mathematical description for free‐boundary problems associated to physical processes with phase transitions. It postulates the existence of a function, called the phase‐field, whose value identifies the phase at a particular point in space and time. The
