Chapter 9: Phase Diagrams
Issues to address
- resulting equilibrium state when combining two elements
- specify
composition(%數)
、temperature(T)
,then
- how many phases form?
- what is the composition of each phase?
- what is the amount of each phase?

Phase Equilibria: Solubility Limit
相平衡: 溶解度極限
溶液vs混合物
- Solution: solid, liquid, gas solutions, single phase
- Mixture: more than one phase
- Solubility Limit:
- Maximum concentration for which only a single phase solution exists
- Question:
What is the solubility limit for sugar in water at 20ºC

- Answer:
65wt% sugar
At 20ºC, if C<65 wt% sugar: syrup
At 20ºC, if C>65 wt% sugar: syrup + sugar
Components and Phases
- Components:
- The elements or compounds(化合物) which are present in the alloy
- Phases:
- The physically and chemically distinct material regions that form(e.g. and )

Effect of Tempearture & Composition

Criteria for Solid Solubility
- Simple system (e.g.Ni-Cu solution)

- Both have the same crystal structure(FCC) and have similar electronegativities and atomic radii suggesting high mutual solubility.
- Ni and Cu are totally soluble in one another for all properties
Phase Diagram
- Indicate phases as afunction of T, C, and P
- For this course
- binary system: just 2 components
- independent variables: T and C (P=1 atm is almost always used)
Isomorphous(同構的) Binary Phase Diagram

- Phase Diagram: Cu-Ni system
- System:
- Binary
2 components
- isomorphous(同構)
complete solubility of one component in another, phase field extends from 0 to 100 wt% Ni.
Determination of phase(s) present
- Rule 1: If we know T and Co
which phase(s) is (are) present
- Examples
- A(1100ºC, 60 wt% Ni): 1 phase
- B(1250ºC, 35 wt% Ni): 2 phases L+
Determination of phase compositions
- Rule 2: If we know T and C0
the composition of each phase
- Examples
Consider C0 = 35 wt% Ni
- At TA = 1320ºC:
- Only Liquid(L) present
- CL = C0 (=35 wt%)
- At TD = 1190ºC:
- Only solid() present
- =C0(=35 wt%)
- At TB = 1250ºC:
- Both and L present
- CL = 32$ wt% Ni
- ~ = 43 wt% Ni
Determination of phase weight fractions
- Rules 3: If we know T and C0
can determine weight fraction of each phase
- Examples:
Consider C0 = 35 wt% Ni
- At TA: Only Liquid
- At TD: Only Solid()
- At TB: Both Liquid and Solid
- = 0.73
- = 0.27
- 為B到boundary的wt距離

The Lever Rule
- Tie line: connects the phases in equilibrium with each other
- also sometimes called an isotherm(等溫線)


Cored vs Equilibrium Structures
- changes as we solidfy
- Cu-Ni case:
- First to solidify has = 46 wt% Ni
- Last to solidify has = 35 wt% Ni
- Slow rate of cooling: Equilibrium structure
- Fast rate of cooling: Cored structure

Mechanical Properties: Cu-Ni System
- Effect of solid solution strengthening on:

Binary-Eutectic Systems
Eutectic: has a spectial composition with a min. melting T

Ex. Cu-Ag system
- 3 single phase regions(L, , )
- Limited solubility
- : No liquid below
- : Composition at temperature
- Eutectic reaction:

Microstructural Developments in Eutectic
System I
- For alloys for which C0 < 2 wt% Sn
- Result: at room temperature
- polycrystalline with grains of phase having composition C0

System II
- For alloys for which 2 wt% Sn < C0 <18.3 wt% Sn
- Result: at temperature in range
- polycrystalline with grains and small -phase particles

System III
- For alloy of composition C0 = CE
- Result: Eutectic microstructure (lamellar struc)
- alternating layers(lamellae) of and phases


System IV
- For alloys for which 18.3 wt% Sn < C0 < 61.9 wt% Sn
- Result: phase particles and a eutectic microconstituent

Hypoeutectic & Hypereutectic


Eutectic, Eutectoid, Peritectic
- Eutectic: liquid transforms to two solid phases

- Eutectoid: one solid phase transforms to two other solid phases

- Peritectic: liquid and one solid phase transform to a second solid phase

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
- The microstructure of an alloy depends on
- its composition
- whether or not cooling rate allows for maintenance of equilibrium
- Important phase diagram phase transformations include
