1 Temperature ( C) Water ugar 217/1/4 Chapter 11: Phase Diagrams IUE TO ADDRE... 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 Chapter 11-1 Phase Equilibria: olubility imit olution solid, liquid, or gas solutions, single phase Mixture more than one phase olubility imit: Maximum concentration for which only a single phase solution exists. Question: What is the solubility limit for sugar in water at 2 C? Answer: 65 wt% sugar. 1 At 2 C, if C < 65 wt% sugar: syrup At 2 C, if C > 65 wt% sugar: syrup + sugar ugar/water Phase Diagram olubility imit (liquid solution i.e., syrup) Adapted from Fig. 11.1, Callister & (liquid) + (solid sugar) C = Composition (wt% sugar) Chapter

3 217/1/4 Criteria for olid olubility imple (e.g., Ni-Cu solution) Crystal tructure electroneg r (nm) 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. Chapter 11-5 Phase Diagrams Indicate phases as a function of T, C, and P. For this course: - binary s: just 2 components. - independent variables: T and C (P = 1 atm is almost always used).

18 217/1/4 ummary 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. 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. Chapter
