Phase Diagrams- Objectives
• Identify the phases in a phase diagram
• In binary phase diagrams, given composition and temperature,
identify the phases present, composition of phases, weight
fraction of phases
• Read an Iron-carbon phase diagram and identify the phases and
their respective quantities present
• Development of microstructures in alloy systems
• Prediction of properties of the final microstructure
• Last but not least, design and process alloys

Definition f Phase/Component/State
Phases of Materials
What is the difference between a phase and state ?
A phase of matter is uniform (homogeneous) with respect to its
physical and chemical properties –
“Primary” phases of matter is also known as States of Matter – Solid,
Liquid, Gas, Plasma & BEC (or degenerate matter)

Phase of matter: A region of space in a material where intensive properties are uniform
[Density/Composition/Temperature/Pressure] -
Salt + Water = Salt solution (2C/1P)
Salt + Water + Ice = Salt Solution+ Ice (2C/2P)
Salt + Water + Olive Oil = Salt Solution+ Olive Oil (3C/2P)
Salt + Water + Olive Oil+ Ice = Salt Solution+ Olive Oil + Ice (3C/3P)

Gibbs Phase Rule
[DOF = (# of Components) – (# of Phases) + Environmental Variables]
F=C-P+E
For most processes, E= Temp, Pressure etc.
For equilibrium diagrams, pressure is assumed constant at 1atm
Gibbs’ Phase Rule:
F=C-P+2
F=C-P+1

H2O
Triple Point of H2O
Where liquid water, water vapor and ice coexist, there is a
'triple point' where both the boiling point of water and melting
point of ice are equal.
A 'critical point' phase boundary (liquid/vapor) vanishes
L/V phases become indistinguishable.
Below critical temperature (Tc ) a vapor can be liquefied by
increasing pressure only.
liq. H2O is hot enough and gaseous H2O is under sufficient
pressure that their densities are identical (0.322 g cm-3 )
Triple Point: 273.16K/4.58 mm Hg (0.00603659 atm) [−22 °C/2070 atm ]
Critical Point: 373.99 oC/217.75 atm [liq H2O hot enough & H2O Vapor is under sufficient pressure that their densities are identical ]

Stillinger-Weber Potential
Liquified noble gases (Ar, Kr, Xe) typify such systems, for which the famous
Lennard-Jones (LJ) interaction is well defined/discussed
No usual pair potential describes general structures involving tetrahedral
coordination/diamond structure (Si) as UL-J stabilizes the close-packed
crystals characteristic of the noble gases.

Non-equilibrium cooling

composition doesn’t reach 40% Nickel but
rather is ~ 42%
CL=29%Ni-71%Cu (Cα should be 40%)
α-phase formed at b’ should lose Ni with
lowering of temp but slow diffusion inhibits the
process and hence has a higher value than
predicted from tie-line

Solder
Solder Alloys
Solder alloys can be elemental metals such as tin
and indium;
binary alloys such as Sn–Ag or Sn-Pb;
complex ternary and quaternary compositions
Of interest are the solidus temperature, at which
melting begins, and the liquidus temperature, at
and above which the alloy is fully liquid.
The temperature range between the solidus and
liquidus temperatures is identified as the pasty
range or the mushy zone, in which the solder is a
mixture of liquid and solid particles.

Example Problem
For a 99.6 wt% Fe-0.40 wt% C steel at a temperature
just below the eutectoid, determine the following:
a) The compositions of Fe3C and ferrite (a).
b) The amount of cementite (in grams) that forms in
100 g of steel.
c) The amounts of pearlite and proeutectoid ferrite (a)
in the 100 g.

Summary
• Phase diagrams are useful tools to determine:
-- the number and types of phases present,
-- the composition of each phase,
-- and the weight fraction of each phase
given the temperature and composition of the system.
• The microstructure of an alloy depends on
-- its composition, and
-- whether or not cooling rate allows for maintenance of
equilibrium.
• Important phase diagram phase transformations include
eutectic, eutectoid, and peritectic.
