Phase Diagrams
• Component: a chemical constituent of an alloy, which may be used to specify its composition – Example: In a copper-zinc brass, the
components are Cu and Zn
• Solid solution (Chapter 4): – Consists of atoms of at least two different types
– Solute atoms occupy either substitutional or interstitial positions
– Crystal structure of solvent is maintained
![Page 7: Microstructure of a lead-tin alloy - Course Notescoursenotes.mcmaster.ca/1M03_Summer_2013/Chapter9_TJ.pdf · Phase Diagrams •Component: a chemical constituent of an alloy, which](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070606/5a9dc86e7f8b9abd0a8d06c1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Solubility Limit
• Maximum concentration of solute atoms that may dissolve in the solvent, at a specific temperature, to form a solid solution
• Adding solute past the solubility limit yields another solid solution (different crystal structure) or compound that has a different composition

Phases • Phase: a homogeneous portion of a system that
has uniform physical and chemical characteristics • The following are considered phases:
– Solid solution – Liquid solution – Gaseous solution
• If more than one phase is present in a system, each will have its own distinct properties
• Phases exist over a range of compositions, temperatures and pressures
• Example: Water and Ice two phases (physically dissimilar, but chemically the same)

Sugar- Water Demo
• Initially, sugar is added to water and there is a sugar- water solution or syrup
• Solution becomes more concentrated with sugar until the solubility limit is reached (saturated)
• System cannot dissolve any more sugar (at the specified temperature) and further additions settle to the bottom of the container
• System now contains two phases; syrup and solid (undissolved) sugar crystals

a) 650 g of sugar
b) 2000 g of sugar
c) 1350 g of sugar
Solid Solubility
• We define solubility as the maximum equilibrium concentration of a solute in a host material Previous Answer: 65 wt% sugar
![Page 15: Microstructure of a lead-tin alloy - Course Notescoursenotes.mcmaster.ca/1M03_Summer_2013/Chapter9_TJ.pdf · Phase Diagrams •Component: a chemical constituent of an alloy, which](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070606/5a9dc86e7f8b9abd0a8d06c1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
ALS: If you have 1 L (1000 g) of water, how much sugar can you dissolve in it?
Solid Solubility
• We define solubility as the maximum equilibrium concentration of a solute in a host material Previous Answer: 65 wt% sugar
Answer: The solution is 65% (about 2/3) sugar and 1/3 water. The weight of the sugar is twice that of the water, so 2000 g is the answer.
![Page 16: Microstructure of a lead-tin alloy - Course Notescoursenotes.mcmaster.ca/1M03_Summer_2013/Chapter9_TJ.pdf · Phase Diagrams •Component: a chemical constituent of an alloy, which](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070606/5a9dc86e7f8b9abd0a8d06c1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
If you leave a saturated water/sugar solution open to the air and the water starts to evaporate, what will happen?
Solubility Limits
Answer: At some point there won’t be enough water to hold all of the sugar. The solubility for sugar will be exceeded, and some of it will come out of the solution in crystal form (i.e. precipitate) to compensate.

One-Component (Or Unary) Phase Diagrams
• 3 externally controllable parameters that affect phase structure:
– Temperature
– Pressure (usually scaled logarithmically)
– Composition
• Unary phase diagrams only deal with pressure-temperature graphs composition remains constant
• Along the phase boundaries, the phases on either side are in equilibrium

(H20) Each of the phases will exist in equilibrium
conditions over the corresponding temperature
• Triple point: all three states are in equilibrium (at 273.16 K at a pressure of 6.04x10-3 atm in the example)

Binary Phase Diagrams
• Temperature and composition are variable parameters
• Binary alloys – contain two components
• Pressure held constant normally ≈ 1 atm
• Maps that represent the relationship between temperatures, compositions and quantities of phases at equilibrium
• Accurately predict phase transformations and resulting microstructures

Binary Isomorphous Systems
• Easiest binary phase diagram to understand – Example: copper-nickel system
• Temperature is plotted along the vertical axis
• Composition of the alloy is plotted along the horizontal axis – Bottom- weight %
– Top – atom %
– Composition ranges from 0 wt% Ni (100 wt% Cu) on the left of the horizontal axis to 100 wt% Ni (0 wt% Cu) on the right of the horizontal axis

Binary Isomorphous Systems
• Three phase regions or fields: – Alpha(α)
• Substitutional solid solution consisting of Cu and Ni and both have an FCC crystal structure
– Liquid (L) • Homogeneous liquid solution
composed of both copper and nickel
– Two phase α + L
• The copper-nickel system is termed isomorphous due to the complete liquid and solid solubility of the two components

Interpretation of Phase Diagrams
• For a binary system of known composition and temperature that is at equilibrium, you can identify:
1. Phases present 2. Compositions of phases 3. Percentages or fractions of phases
• Phases Present:
– Locate the temperature-composition point on the diagram and one can identify the phase(s) within the phase field that are/ is present

Interpretation of Phase Diagrams
• Phase compositions: – One phase present:
• composition of phase is the same as the overall composition of the alloy
– Two phases present: • A Tie line is constructed across two-phase region at
a specified temperature of the alloy
• Intersections of tie lines and phase boundaries on both sides are noted
• The compositions corresponding to these points are read from the x-axis.
![Page 25: Microstructure of a lead-tin alloy - Course Notescoursenotes.mcmaster.ca/1M03_Summer_2013/Chapter9_TJ.pdf · Phase Diagrams •Component: a chemical constituent of an alloy, which](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070606/5a9dc86e7f8b9abd0a8d06c1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Interpretation of Phase Diagrams
• Determining Phase Amounts: – One phase present:
• Alloy is composed entirely of that phase; phase fraction is 1.0 or percentage is 100%
– Two phases present: • Use the lever rule; tie line is constructed across the two-phase
region at a specified temperature of the alloy • Overall alloy composition is located on the tie line • Fraction of one phase is determined by taking the length of the tie
line from the overall alloy composition to the phase boundary for the other phase, and dividing by the total lie line length
• The fraction of the other phase is determined in the same manner • Segment lengths can be determined either by direct measurement
from the phase diagram using ruler or by subtracting compositions from the composition axis

Binary Eutectic Systems
One common type of alloy system is called the eutectic system. Binary eutectic systems occur when 2 elements completely dissolve into each other in the liquid state, but have only limited solubility in the solid state.
More than one solid phase exists in these systems. There are multiphase regions between single-phase regions. Which phases are present depends, as before, on the temperature and the composition of the material.

The Iron-Iron Carbide (Fe-Fe3C) Phase Diagram
• When heated, pure iron experiences two changes in its crystal structure before it reaches its melting temperature:
– At room temperature, exists as ferrite (α iron) and has a BCC structure
– Ferrite experiences a polymorphic transformation to FCC austenite (γ iron) at 912°C
– Experiences a second transformation to BCC phase known as δ ferrite at 1394°C, which finally melts at 1538°C

Development of Microstructure in Iron-Carbon Alloys
• The microstructure depends on: – Concentration of carbon – Heat treatment
• Pearlite: a two-phase microstucture results from the transformation of austenite and consists of alternating layers ( or lamellae) of -ferrite and cementite

Hypoeutectoid Alloys
• Hypoeutectoid alloy : (less than eutectoid) between 0.022 and 0.76wt% C
• Proeutectoid ferrite: that formed above the eutectoid temperature

Hypereutectoid Alloys • Hypereutectoid alloys:
containing between 0.76 and 2.14 wt% C
• Proeutectoid cementite: that which forms before the eutectoid reaction cementite composition remains constant as temperature changes

Non-Equilibrium Cooling
• In most situations, the cooling rates are impractically slow and unnecessary
• Nonequilibrium effects of practical importance: – Phase changes or transformations at temperatures other than those
predicted in phase diagrams – The existence of non-equilibrium phases that do not appear on the phase
diagram
