Thermal Equilibrium Diagrams Thermal Equilibrium Diagrams show the temperatures at which phase changes take place in alloys of different percentage composition.
Phase A Phase is a portion of a system that has uniform physical and chemical characteristics.
Thermal Equilibrium Diagrams are made for information gained form Cooling Curves.
Cooling Curve When the temperature of a cooling molten metal alloy is plotted against time, a cooling curve is formed.
The Cooling Curve of 100% Copper Remember this only happens for pure metals. When cooling a solid pure metal, change from a solid to a liquid at constant temperature. This is called the Melting Point Temperature. The heat that is released in the transition from a solid to a liquid is called hidden or Latent Heat. LIQUID Solidification Starts Solidification Ends SOLID
Latent Heat Latent heat is the quantity of heat energy absorbed or released when a substance changes its physical phase at constant temperature. The energy that goes in breaks the bond of the atoms.
The Cooling Curve of Pure Metal Pure Metal change directly from Liquid to Solid at 1 temperature. LIQUID SOLID
1500 Temperature 0C Undercooling 1100 1000 Time Undercooling If a metal is 100% pure and contains no traces of other elements then some under cooling may occur before solidification begins. Under cooling is when the temperature drops below the liquid to solid temperature for a short period. Fall in temperature stops temporarily at the freezing point because of Latent heat
The Cooling Curve of an Alloy Alloys change from Liquid to Solid through a pasty state over a temperature range. LIQUID Solidification Starts “PASTY” STATE Solidification Ends SOLID
Pure Metal Alloy Over a Temperature Range 1Temperature
Solid Solution: A Solid Solution is when two metals are completely soluble in each other in both the liquid and solid states. When viewed under a microscope, a solid solution appears like a pure metal. Iron Carbon 100% Lead

How Equilibrium Diagrams Are Made Equilibrium diagrams are made from taking information for cooling of different percentage of an alloy and putting it on one graph.

Main Features of Equilibrium Diagram • Liquid: the two metals are soluble in each other in the liquid state. • Liquidus Line: the change from fully liquid to pasty state. Above the liquidus line, the alloy is liquid. This is the beginning of solidification. • LiquidandSolid: the alloy is in a pasty form, there are two phases one Liquid and one Solid. • Solidus Line: the change from pasty to solid. Below the solidus line, the alloy is cooling and solid. This is the end of solidification. • Solid: alloy is in solid form.
Introduction To Equilibrium Diagrams • Equilibrium may be defined as a state of balance or stability. • Diagrams indicates the phases the alloy is at different temperatures. • Phases are defined as regions that differ from one another on an equilibrium diagram. Phases defined by composition.
The Meaning of the Term Equilibrium Equilibrium refers to Balance existing in a system • In Metallurgy, Equilibrium means, that the cooling of a metal or an alloy is so slow that all the changes that might take place get the chance to do so. To achieve equilibrium to take place enough time for complete diffusion is required. Metallurgy is the study of metals and their properties
Diffusion Diffusion is the processes by which a substance spread out through another substance. Atoms move in a solid metal in this manner. HIGH CONSTANTRATION LOW CONSTANTRATION
Diffusion in a Solid Atom move form high concentration to low concentration
