Solidification behaviour and and solute segregation/redistribution is described by scheil-gulliver's model. Is there any similar approach to understand the melting behaviour of alloy ? Especially rapidly solidified powders?
The very recently article (2021) titled " Integration of Processing and Microstructure Models for Non-Equilibrium Solidification in Additive Manufacturing " by Noah Sargent, Mason Jones, Richard Otis, Andrew A. Shapiro, Jean-Pierre Delplanque and Wei Xiong is in their introduction covered a golden comparison for the computational modelling frameworks that desired to design the next generation of additively manufactured materials.
This comparison is totally covering the heart of your question topic. Hope that introduction and the whole of the article is helpful.
