• why a T-X phase diagram? most common var from suitable exp → direct info on that type of diagram → direct predictions of the result of a new exp

• when computerized phase diagrams become available → thermo info stored in a databank → calculate and plot any type of diagram (custom-oriented, tailor-made types)

• apart from T-X

→ c preferred for an axis in understanding

→ enthalpy preferred for an axis in controlling the

• what happens to conjugate var if another thermo energy being used instead of dU as a starting pt?

exp determination of thermo quantities → thermo measurements after Kubaschewski (1993) at Aachen

① methods - powerful for establishing integral and partial enthalpies - but limited use in partial Gibbs energy & activity or activity coefficient - measuring heat & during heating and cooling or from a

rxn - its reliability governed by heat conduction, heat capacity & heat

transfer efficiency isothermal : Ts(surr) = Tc(calorimeter), const T adiabatic : Ts = Tc, T not const, determining heat capacity heat-flow : Ts - Tc = constant isoperibol : const Ts, measuring Tc

i) measurement of H & heat capacity - H measuring HT - HRT vs T - heating the sample to high T and dropping it into a calor at low T - measuring heat evolved, not directly Cv - problems occur if Cv of calorimeter > Cv of the sample

ii) measurement of enthalpy of transformation - DSC, DTA tech (ΔHtr can also be obtained from the method i)

② 기상평형법 (gas phase equil tech) - activity, ai = pi/pi° → Gi & μi

- how to measure , pi, correctly

③ ( 기전력 ) measurements - in electrochem cells EMF generated Gi, i

- ∆Gi = -nEF = RTln ai

- ∆S & ∆H readily calculated from the above eq

- providing good accuracy for ai & i(act coeff)

- H & S being associated with much higher errors

exp determination of phase diagrams

① non-isothermal tech - where a sample is or through a transf and some

properties of the alloy changes as a consequence - inherently non-equil in nature - dealing with the of transf rather than the

transf itself

i) thermal analysis tech: typical simple cooling curve method by Haycock and Neville (1890, 1897)

the curve of vs time preferred to T vs time more refined DSC or DTA methods be aware of or solid state diffusion in heating be aware of in cooling

ii) chemical potential tech: activity of one or both of the comp being measured during a cooling or heating cycle and a series of characteristic breaks defining

ⅲ) magnetic susceptibility measurement: an interesting tech for

determining phase boundaries in systemsⅳ) resistivity method: a simple tech, the resistivity of an alloy during measured as a ft of T

② isothermal tech (const T)

inherently closer to → substantial periods to allow equil needed → how long is enough? → no easy ans → (as a first approx) (x : grain size)Dtx

i) metallogrophy: OM, BS-SEM → phase boundary, identification & qualitative delineation of phases (heavy elements appearing

light, light elements dark)

Fig. 4.11 Equilibrium phase diagram for the Mo-Re system after Knapton (1958-59).

ii) XRD: used to support some other tech, identification of and a more exact determine of phase boundary using

Fig. 4.12 Lattice parameter vs composition measurements for Hf(1-c)C (Rudy 1969).

iii) quantitative determination of phase : STEM, EDX & AP/FIM

ⅳ) sampling/equilibration method:

- in equil involving liq + sol → removal of some of the liq → defining liquidus comp

- using the different density of liq and sol (gravity then sufficient for separation)

ⅴ) diffusion couple: increased use of EPMA →
