We employ a physics-informed neural network approach in conjunction with the CALPHAD formalism to determine the Gibbs free energy of alloys. The Gibbs free energy, essential for CALPHAD simulations, is determined by predicting the Redlich-Kister parameter using a composite neural network utilizing novel descriptors derived from the atomic, composition-based, and thermodynamic properties of elements. The composite neural network comprises a low-fidelity network trained on CALPHAD-generated mixing enthalpies and a high-fidelity network trained on experimental mixing enthalpies. These two models are further connected to a physics-informed neural network, which determines the Redlich-Kister parameters. The predicted Redlich-Kister parameters can then be directly implemented into a thermodynamic database file for immediate use with existing CALPHAD software. This approach holds promise for expediting materials development and phase stability determination. Comparative experimental results highlight the accuracy and potential of this deep learning-based method, offering a novel path for forecasting the Gibbs free energy in multi-component systems and accelerating the development of databases.
