• How does the rate of transformation depend on
time and T?
• How can we slow down the transformation so that
we can engineer non-equilibrium structures?
• Are the mechanical properties of non-equilibrium
structures better?
Chapter 10 - 1
Phase Transformations
Nucleation
– nuclei (seeds) act as template to grow crystals
– for nucleus to form rate of addition of atoms to
nucleus must be faster than rate of loss
– once nucleated, grow until reach equilibrium
Driving force to nucleate increases as we increase T
– supercooling (eutectic, eutectoid)
Small supercooling  few nuclei - large crystals
Large supercooling  rapid nucleation - many nuclei,
small crystals
Chapter 10 - 2
Solidification: Nucleation Processes
• Homogeneous nucleation
– nuclei form in the bulk of liquid metal
– requires supercooling (typically 80-300°C max)
• Heterogeneous nucleation
– much easier since stable “nucleus” is already
present
• Could be wall of mold or impurities in the liquid
phase
– allows solidification with only 0.1-10ºC
supercooling
Chapter 10 - 3
Homogeneous Nucleation & Energy Effects
Surface Free Energy- destabilizes
the nuclei (it takes energy to make
an interface)
GS  4r 2 g
g = surface tension
GT = Total Free Energy
= GS + GV
Volume (Bulk) Free Energy –
stabilizes the nuclei (releases energy)

GV  r 3 G

r* = critical nucleus: nuclei < r* shrink; nuclei>r* grow (to reduce energy)

H S T
r* = critical radius
g = surface free energy
Tm = melting temperature
HS = latent heat of solidification
T = Tm - T = supercooling
Note: HS = strong function of T
g
= weak function of T

r*
decreases as T increases
For typical T
r* ca. 100Å
Chapter 10 - 5
Rate of Phase Transformations
Kinetics - measure approach to equilibrium vs.
time
• Hold temperature constant & measure
conversion vs. time
How is conversion measured?
X-ray diffraction – have to do many samples
electrical conductivity – follow one sample
sound waves – one sample
