    Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) has attracted increasing interest for tailoring the magnetic properties of materials such as Nd-Fe-B and SmCo₅, as process parameters strongly affect the resulting microstructure. The phase-field (PF) method provides a thermodynamically consistent approach for simulating microstructure evolution with physically informed parameters. This is particularly important for magnetic materials, where the microstructure directly governs functional performance, making it essential to understand how different scanning parameters and strategies influence grain structure.
