Fully Miscible Solution. 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.

Fully Miscible Solution 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 at all mixture compositions – isomorphous
Copper-Nickel Binary Equilibrium Phase Diagram • Solid solutions are typically designated by lower case Greek letters: a, B, g, etc. • Liquidus line separates liquid from two phase field • Solidus line separates two phase field from a solid solution • Pure metals have melting points • Alloys have melting ranges What do we have? What’s the composition?

Equilibrium Cooling in a Cu-Ni Binary • Phase diagram: Cu-Ni system. • System is: --binary i.e., 2 components: Cu and Ni. --isomorphous i.e., complete solubility of one component in another; a phase field extends from 0 to 100 wt% Ni. • Consider Co = 35 wt%Ni.
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. Last a to solidify has Ca = 35 wt% Ni. • Fast rate of cooling: Cored structure • Slow rate of cooling: Equilibrium structure
