  2. What is Phase? • The term ‘phase’ refers to a separate and identifiable state of matter in which a given substance may exist. • Applicable to both crystalline and non-crystalline materials • An important refractory oxide silica is able to exist as three crystalline phases, quartz, tridymite and cristobalite, as well as a non-crystalline phase, silica glass, and as molten silica • Every pure material is considered to be a phase, so also is every solid, liquid, and gaseous solution • For example, the sugar–water syrup solution is one phase, and solid sugar is another

  3. Introduction to Phase Diagram • There is a strong correlation between microstructure and mechanical properties, and the development of microstructure of an alloy is related to the characteristics of its phase diagram • It is a type of chart used to show conditions at which thermodynamically distinct phases can occur at equilibrium • Provides valuable information about melting, casting, crystallization, and other phenomena

  4. ISSUES TO ADDRESS... • When we combine two elements... what equilibrium state do we get? • In particular, if we specify... --a composition (e.g., wt% Cu - wt% Ni), and --a temperature (T) then... How many phases do we get? What is the composition of each phase? How much of each phase do we get? Phase B Phase A Nickel atom Copper atom

  5. Solubility Limit • At some specific temperature, there is a maximum concentration of solute atoms that may dissolve in the solvent to form a solid solution, which is called as Solubility Limit • The addition of solute in excess of this solubility limit results in the formation of another compound that has a distinctly different composition • This solubility limit depends on the temperature

  6. Solubility Limit Sugar-Water

  7. Microstructure • the structure of a prepared surface of material as revealed by a microscope above 25× magnification • The microstructure of a material can strongly influence properties such as strength, toughness, ductility, hardness, corrosion resistance, high/low temperature behavior, wear resistance, etc

  8. Components and Phases • Components: The elements or compounds which are present in the mixture (e.g., Al and Cu) • Phases: The physically and chemically distinct material regions that result (e.g., a and b). Aluminum- Copper Alloy b (lighter phase) a (darker phase)

  10. PHASE EQUILIBRIA • Free Energy -> a function of the internal energy of a system, and also the disorder of the atoms or molecules (or entropy) • A system is at equilibrium if its free energy is at a minimum under some specified combination of temperature, pressure, and composition • A change in temperature, pressure, and/or composition for a system in equilibrium will result in an increase in the free energy • And in a possible spontaneous change to another state whereby the free energy is lowered

  11. Unary Phase Diagram • Three externally controllable parameters that will affect phase structure: temperature, pressure, and composition • The simplest type of phase diagram to understand is that for a one-component system, in which composition is held constant • Pure water exists in three phases: solid, liquid and vapor

  12. Pressure-Temperature Diagram (Water) • Each of the phases will exist under equilibrium conditions over the temperature–pressure ranges of its corresponding area • The three curves (aO, bO, and cO) are phase boundaries; at any point on one of these curves, the two phases on either side of the curve are in equilibrium with one another • Point on a P–T phase diagram where three phases are in equilibrium, is called a triple point

  13. Binary Phase Diagrams • A phase diagram in which temperature and composition are variable parameters, and pressure is held constant—normally 1atm • Binary phase diagrams are maps that represent the relationships between temperature and the compositions and quantities of phases at equilibrium, which influence the microstructure of an alloy. • Many microstructures develop from phase transformations, the changes that occur when the temperature is altered

  14. Phase Equilibria Simple solution system (e.g., Ni-Cu solution) • 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 miscible in all proportions.

  15. T(°C) • 2 phases: 1600 L (liquid) 1500 L (liquid) a (FCC solid solution) • 3 phase fields: 1400 L a liquidus + 1300 a L + L solidus a a 1200 (FCC solid 1100 solution) 1000 wt% Ni 0 20 40 60 80 100 Phase Diagrams • Indicate phases as function of T, Compos, and Press. • For this course: -binary systems: just 2 components. -independent variables: T and Co (P = 1 atm is almost always used). •Phase Diagram for Cu-Ni system

Think of it as a lever (teeter-totter)

Cored vs Equilibrium Phases Uniform C : a a First to solidify: 35 wt% Ni 46 wt% Ni a Last to solidify: < 35 wt% Ni • Ca changes as we solidify. • Cu-Ni case: First a to solidify has Ca = 46 wt% Ni.
