Phase Diagrams
Introduction Phase: A region in a material that differs in structure and function
from other regions.
Phase diagrams:
Represents phases present in metal at different conditions
(Temperature, pressure and composition).
Indicates equilibrium solid solubility of one element in
another.
Indicates temperature range under which solidification
occurs.
Indicates temperature at which different phases start to
melt.
2
Phase Diagram of Pure Substance Pure substance exist as solid, liquid and vapor.
Phases are separated by phase boundaries.
Different phases coexist at triple point.
Example : Water, Pure Iron.
3PT phase diagram
Question 1In the pure water pressure-temperature equilibrium phase
diagram, what phases are in equilibrium for the following
conditions:
a. Along the freezing line
b. Along the vaporization line
c. At the triple point
4
Question 2a. How many triple points are there in the pure iron pressure-
temperature equilibrium phase diagram of below?
b. What phases are in equilibrium at each of the triple points?
5
P+F = C+2
P = number of phases that coexist in a system
C = Number of components
F = Degrees of freedom (is the number of variables such
pressure, temperature or composition that can changed
independently without changing the number of phases in
equilibrium in the chosen system)
Gibbs Phase Rule
6
Example 1
For pure water, at triple point, 3 phases coexist.
There is one component (water) in the system.
Therefore 3 + F = 1 + 2 F = 0.
Degrees of freedom indicate number of variables that can be
changed without changing number of phases.
7
Question 3Refer to the pressure-temperature equilibrium phase diagram for
pure water below:
a. How many degrees of freedom are there at the freezing line?
b. How many degrees of freedom are there at the vaporization
line?
c. How many degrees of freedom
are there inside a single phase?

Cooling Curves Used to determine phase transition temperature.
Temperature and time data of cooling molten metal is recorded and plotted.
Thermal arrest : heat lost = heat supplied by solidifying metal
Alloys solidify over a range of temperature (no thermal arrest)

Pure Metal
Iron
Consider a mixture or alloy of two metals instead of pure
substances.
A mixture of two metals is called a binary alloy and constitutes a
two component.
Example:
pure substance : cooper is one component
alloy : cooper + nickel is two component
Binary Alloy

Isomorphous system:
Two elements completely soluble in each other in liquid and solid
state.
11
Solid Solution Solid substitutional atoms into an existing lattice.
In a solid solution, some atoms of the solute replace those of the
solvent in the solvent's normal lattice structure and randomly
distributed among the lattice sites.

Question 4 Determine the liquidus temperature, solidus temperature, and
freezing range for the following MgO-FeO ceramic compositions:
a) MgO -25wt% FeO
(Answer: 22600C, 25900C, 22600C-25900C)
b) MgO - 45wt% FeO

Example: Cu-Ni solution.
Figure 8.5: The cooper-nickel phase diagram- Cooper and nickel have complete liquid solubility and complete solid solubility. - Cooper nickel solid solutions melt over a range of temperatures rather than at a fixed temperature, as is the case for pure metals.
Binary Diagrams
15
Phase Diagram from Cooling
Curves Series of cooling curves at different metal composition are first
constructed.
Points of change of slope of cooling curves (thermal arrests) are
noted and phase diagram is constructed.
More the number of cooling curves, more accurate is the phase
diagram.

The Lever Rule The Lever rule gives the WEIGHT % of phases in any two phase
regions.

phases at this temperature?
(Answer:55% wt Cu , 42% wt Cu)
b. What weight percent of this alloy is liquid and what weight

Binary Eutectic Alloy System
In some binary alloy systems, components have limited solid
solubility.
Example : Pb-Sn alloy.
Eutectic composition freezes at lower temperature than all other
compositions.
This lowest temperature is called eutectic temperature.
19
20
Fig 8.12 The lead-tin equilibrium phase diagram. -This diagram is characterized by the limited solid solubility of each terminal phase (a and b).- The eutectic invariant reaction at 61.9% Sn and 1830C is the most important feature of this system.- At the eutectic point, a (19.2% Sn),b (97.5% Sn) and liquid (61.9 % Sn) can coexist.
In simple binary eutectic systems like the Pb-Sn, there is a specific
alloy composition known as the eutectic composition that freezes
at lower temperature than all other compositions.
Eutectic temperature is the low temperature which corresponds
to the lowest temperature at which the liquid phase can exist when
cooled slowly.
In the Pb-Sn system, the eutectic temperature (1830C) determine a
point on the phase diagram called the eutectic point.
21
When liquid of eutectic composition is slowly cooled to the
eutectic temperature, the single liquid phase transforms
simultaneously into two solid forms (solid solution a and b). This
transmission is known as the eutectic reaction and written as:
The eutectic reaction is called an invariant reaction since it
occurs under equilibrium conditions at a specific temperature and
alloy composition that cannot be varied (according Gibbs rule,
F=0).

24
Various Eutectic Structures Structure depends on factors like minimization of free energy at α /
β interface.
Manner in which two phases nucleate and grow also affects
structures.
