Application of Phase Diagram Microstructure Evolution Phase diagram: Cu-Ni system. ystem is: --binary i.e., 2 components: Cu and Ni. --isomorphous i.e., complete solubility of one component in another; phase field extends from to 1 wt% Ni. Consider C o = 35 wt%ni. 13 L: 35 wt% Ni : 46 wt% Ni 12 11 2 (solid) Adapted from Fig. 9.4, Callister 7e. 35 32 A B C D 24 36 E 35 C o L: 35wt%Ni 43 46 3 4 5 wt% Ni Chapter 9-5 Cu-Ni system L: 32 wt% Ni : 43 wt% Ni L: 24 wt% Ni : 36 wt% Ni
Microstructures in Isomorphous Alloys Microstructures will vary on the cooling rate (i.e. processing conditions) 1. Equilibrium Cooling: Very slow cooling to allow phase equilibrium to be maintained during the cooling process. a (T>126 o C): start as homogeneous liquid solution. b (T ~ 126 o C): liquidus line reached. phase begins to nucleate. C = 46 wt% Ni; C L = 35 wt% Ni c (T= 125 o C): the composition of each phase: C = 43 wt% Ni; C L = 32 wt% Ni d (T~ 122 o C): solidus line reached. Nearly complete solidification. C = 35 wt% Ni; C L = 24 wt% Ni e (T<122 o C): homogeneous solid solution with 35 wt% Ni. Chapter 9-6

Application of Phase Diagram (1) tability/eactivity/olubility of Engineering Materials Based on the Cu-Ag phase diagram, will a very thin Ag coating over Cu be stable at elevated temperatures? NO because the system is very rich in Cu and low in Ag (near pure Cu in the phase diagram). At high T (e.g., 6C), Ag will form solid solution with Cu and mix uniformly instead of only staying over Cu surface Chapter 9-1
ummary Binary eutectic phase diagram is another type of binary phase diagram with lowest melting point at intermediate composition. Phase change at eutectic composition happen at a fixed temperature eutectic temperature Chapter 9-11
