Why Study Phase Diagrams?

Design & control of HT procedures

Strong correlation between

microstructure & mechanical properties

Development of microstructure of an

alloy is related to the char of its phase

diagram

Phase Diagram (PD) provides valuable

info about melting, casting, crystallization,

and other phenomena

9.3 Phases

A phase: physically distinct &

homogenous portion in a

material.

Each phase is a homogenous part

of total mass & has its own

characteristics and properties.

1/2/2015 1:48 PM


8

9.3 Phases

Phase Characteristics:

Same structure or atomic arrangement

Same composition & properties

Definite interface between phase and

any surrounding or adjoining phases

Two types of alloys:

single phase

multiple phases

1/2/2015 1:48 PM

9.3 Phases

Alloying consists of two basic forms:

1. Solid solutions

2. Inter-metallic compounds

Solid Solutions (SS): solid material in

which atoms or ions of elements

constituting it are dispersed

uniformly.

1/2/2015 1:48 PM


10

9.3 Phases

A SS is not a mixture

A mixture contains more than one

type of phase whose char are

retained when mixture is formed.

Components of SS completely

dissolve in one another and do

not retain their individual char.

1/2/2015 1:48 PM


11

9.3 Phases

Properties are controlled by creating

point defects such as substititional &

interstitial atoms.

Solute: minor element that is added

to solvent (major element)

When the particular crystal structure

of solvent is maintained during

allying, alloy is called a Solid

Solution.

9.7 Binary Isomorphous Systems

A phase diagram (PD) shows the

relationships among temperature,

composition, and phases present in a

particular alloy system under

equilibrium conditions

1/2/2015 1:48 PM


14


From PD, we can predict:

how a material will solidify under

equilibrium conditions

phases for diff temp and comp.

Equilibrium means that state of a

system remains constant over an

indefinite period of time.

components in the system display

Freezing range: pure metals and

alloys

1/2/2015 1:48 PM


17


When temperature of molten metal

is reduced to freezing point:

energy of latent heat of solidification is

given off while temperature remains

constant.

Eventually, solidification is complete

and solid metal continues cooling to RT.

9.9 Development of Microstructure in Isomorphous Alloys

The completely solidified alloy in the phase

diagram shown is a solid solution because:

Alloying element (Cu, solute) is

completely dissolved in host metal (Ni,

solvent)

Each grain has same composition

Atomic radius of Cu is 0.128nm & that of

Ni is 0.125nm,

Both elements are FCC; HRRs are obeyed.

1/2/2015 1:48 PM


24


Two conditions required for growth of solid a:

1. Latent heat of fusion (DHf), which evolves

as liquid solidifies, be removed from solid

liquid interface.

2. Diffusion must occur so that compositions

of solid and liquid phases follow solidus

and liquidus curves during cooling.

DHf is removed over a range of

temperatures so that cooling curves shows

a change in slope

solidification of a 35

wt% Ni–65 wt% Cu

alloy.


On cooling from liquidus to 1250oC,

some Ni atoms must diffuse from 1st

solid to new solid, reducing Ni in 1st

solid.

Additional Ni atoms diffuse from

solidifying liquid to new solid.

Meanwhile, Cu atoms have

concentrated –by diffusion – into

remaining liquid.

1/2/2015 1:48 PM


27


The process must continue until we

reach solidus temperature, where

last liquid to freeze, which contains

Cu-28%Ni, solidifies and forms a solid

containing Cu-35 %Ni.
