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.
      α
      and
      β
      )

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,

      α 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
      α
    • B(1250ºC, 35 wt% Ni): 2 phases L+
      α

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(
        α
        ) present
      • Cα
        =C0(=35 wt%)
    • At TB = 1250ºC:
      • Both
        α
        and L present
      • CL = 32$ wt% Ni
      • Cα
        ~ = 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
      • WL=1.00, Wα=0
    • At TD: Only Solid(
      α
      )
      • WL=0, Wα=1.00
    • At TB: Both Liquid and Solid
      • WL=SR+S
        = 0.73
      • Wα=RR+S
        = 0.27
      • R,S
        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

  • Cα
    changes as we solidfy
  • Cu-Ni case:
    • First
      α
      to solidify has
      Cα
      = 46 wt% Ni
    • Last
      α
      to solidify has
      Cα
      = 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,
    α
    ,
    β
    )
  • Limited solubility
    • α
      : mostly Cu
    • β
      : mostly Ag
  • TE
    : No liquid below
    TE
  • CE
    : Composition at temperature
    TE
  • Eutectic reaction:
    • L(CE)α(CαE+β(CβE))

Microstructural Developments in Eutectic

System I

  • For alloys for which C0 < 2 wt% Sn
  • Result: at room temperature
    • polycrystalline with grains of
      α
      phase having composition C0

System II

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

System III

  • For alloy of composition C0 = CE
  • Result: Eutectic microstructure (lamellar struc)
    • alternating layers(lamellae) of
      α
      and
      β
      phases

System IV

  • For alloys for which 18.3 wt% Sn < C0 < 61.9 wt% Sn
  • Result:
    α
    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
