  1. Phase Equilibrium Engr 2110 – Chapter 9 Dr. R. R. Lindeke

  2. Topics for Study • Definitions of Terms in Phase studies • Binary Systems • Complete solubility systems • Multiphase systems • Eutectics • Eutectoids and Peritectics • Intermetallic Compounds • The Fe-C System

  3. Definitions System: A body of engineering material under investigation. e.g. Ag – Cu system Component of a system:Pure metals and or compounds of which an alloy is composed, e.g. Cu and Ag. They are the solute(s) and solvent Solubility Limit:The maximum concentration of solute atoms that may dissolve in the Solvent to form a “solid solution” at some temperature.

  4. Definitions, cont Phases:A homogenous portion of a system that has uniform physical and chemical characteristics, e.g. pure material, solid solution, liquid solution, and gaseous solution, ice and water, syrup and sugar. Single phase system = Homogeneous system Multi phase system = Heterogeneous system or mixtures Microstructure: A system’s microstructure is characterized by the number of phases present, their proportions, and the manner in which they are distributed or arranged. Factors affecting microstructure are: alloying elements present, their concentrations, and the heat treatment of the alloy.

  5. Definitions, cont Phase Equilibrium: A stable configuration with lowest free-energy (internal energy of a system, and also randomness or disorder of the atoms or molecules (entropy). Any change in Temp., Comp., and Pressure = increase in free energy and away from Equilibrium. And move to another state Equilibrium Phase Diagram: It is a diagram of the information about the control of microstructure or phase structure of a particular alloy system. The relationships between temperature and the compositions and the quantities of phases present at equilibrium are shown. Definition that focus on “Binary Systems” Binary Isomorphous Systems:An alloy system that contains two components that attain complete liquid and solid solubility of the components, e.g. Cu and Ni alloy. It is the simplest binary system to understand. Binary Eutectic Systems:An alloy system that contains two components that has a special composition with a minimum melting temperature.

  6. With these definitions in mind: ISSUES TO ADDRESS... • When we combine two elements... what “equilibrium state” would we expect to get? • In particular, if we specify... --a composition (e.g., wt% Cu - wt% Ni), and --a temperature (T) and/or a Pressure (P) 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

A 1-phase region Question: What is the solubility limit at 20°C? A 2-phase region Answer: 65 wt% sugar. If Co < 65 wt% sugar: syrup If Co > 65 wt% sugar: syrup + sugar.

  9. Gibbs Phase Rule: a tool to define the number of phases that can be found in a system at equilibrium • For the system under study the rule determines if the system is at equilibrium • For a given system, we can use it to predict how many phases can be expected • Using this rule, for a given phase field, we can predict how many independent parameters we can specify • Ex: Determine how many equilibrium phases that can exist in a ternary alloy? • C = 3; N = 1 (temperature) P + F = 3+1 = 4 • So, if F = 0 (all 3 elements compositions and the temperature is set) we could have (at most) 4 phases present

  10. T(°C) • 2 phases are possible: 1600 L (liquid) 1500 L (liquid) a (FCC solid solution) • 3 phase fields are observed: 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: A chart based on a System’s Free Energy indicating “equilibuim” system structures • Indicate ‘stable’ phases as function of T, Co, and P. • We will focus on: -binary systems: just 2 components. -independent variables: T and Co (P = 1 atm is almost always used). •Phase Diagram for Cu-Ni system An “Isomorphic” Phase System Adapted from Fig. 9.3(a), Callister 7e.

  37. Looking at a Tertiary Diagram When looking at a Tertiary (3 element) P. diagram, like this image, the Mat. Engineer represents equilibrium phases by taking “slices at different 3rd element content” from the 3 dimensional Fe-C-Cr phase equilibrium diagram From: G. Krauss, Principles of Heat Treatment of Steels, ASM International, 1990 What this graph shows are the increasing temperature of the euctectoid and the decreasing carbon content, and (indirectly) the shrinking  phase field

  38. Summary • Phase diagrams are useful tools to determine: -- the number and types of phases, -- the wt% of each phase, -- and the composition of each phase for a given T and composition of the system. • Alloying to produce a solid solution usually --increases the tensile strength (TS) --decreases the ductility. • Binary eutectics and binary eutectoids allow for (cause) a range of microstructures.
