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.
