1 Chapter 11: Phase Diagrams ISSUES TO ADDRESS... When we combine two elements... what is the resulting equilibrium state? In particular, if we specify the composition (e.g., wt% Cu - wt% Ni), and -- the temperature (T) then... How many phases form? What is the composition of each phase? What is the amount of each phase? Phase A Phase B Nickel atom Copper atom AMSE 205 Spring 2016 Chapter 11-1

2 Phase Equilibria: Solubility imit Solution solid, liquid, or gas solutions, single phase Mixture more than one phase Solubility imit: Maximum concentration for which only a single phase solution exists. Question: What is the solubility limit for sugar in water at 20 o C? Temperature ( o C) Answer: 65 wt% sugar. At 20 C, if C < 65 wt% sugar: syrup At 20 C, if C > 65 wt% sugar: syrup + sugar Sugar/Water Phase Diagram Solubility imit (liquid solution i.e., syrup) (liquid) + S (solid sugar) C = Composition (wt% sugar) Water Adapted from Fig. 11.1, Callister & Rethwisch 9e.

3 Components and Phases Components: The elements or compounds which are present in the alloy (e.g., Al and Cu) Phases: The physically and chemically distinct material regions that form (e.g., and β).

5 Criteria for Solid Solubility Simple system (e.g., Ni-Cu solution) Crystal electroneg r (nm) Structure Ni FCC Cu FCC Both have the same crystal structure (FCC) and have similar electronegativities and atomic radii (W. Hume Rothery rules) suggesting high mutual solubility. Ni and Cu are totally soluble in one another for all proportions. AMSE 205 Spring 2016 Chapter 11-5

6 Phase Diagrams Indicate phases as a function of T, C, and P. For this course: - binary systems: just 2 components. - independent variables: T and C (P = 1 atm is almost always used).

42 Summary Phase diagrams are useful tools to determine: -- the number and types of phases present, -- the composition of each phase, -- and the weight fraction of each phase given the temperature and composition of the system. The microstructure of an alloy depends on -- its composition, and -- whether or not cooling rate allows for maintenance of equilibrium. Important phase diagram phase transformations include eutectic, eutectoid, and peritectic. AMSE 205 Spring 2016 Chapter 11-42
