Why Study Phase Diagrams? 2/16/2019 9:54 PM Why Study Phase Diagrams? Design and control of HT procedures Strong correlation between microstructure and mechanical properties Development of microstructure of an alloy is related to the char of its phase diagram Phase Diagram (PD) provides valuable info about melting, casting, crystallization, and other phenomena Dr. Mohammad Abuhaiba, PE

2/16/2019 9:54 PM 9.3 Phases A phase: a physically distinct and homogenous portion in a material. Each phase is a homogenous part of total mass and has its own characteristics and properties. Phase Characteristics: Same structure or atomic arrangement. Same composition and properties. Definite interface between phase and any surrounding or adjoining phases Two types of alloys: single phase multiple phases Dr. Mohammad Abuhaiba, PE

9.3 Phases Alloying consists of two basic forms: 2/16/2019 9:54 PM 9.3 Phases  Alloying consists of two basic forms: Solid solutions. Inter-metallic compounds. Solid Solutions (SS): solid material in which atoms or ions of elements constituting it are dispersed uniformly. A SS is not a mixture. A mixture contains more than one type of phase whose char are retained when mixture is formed. Components of SS completely dissolve in one another and do not retain their individual char. Properties are controlled by creating point defects such as substititional and interstitial atoms. Solute: minor element that is added to solvent, which is the major element. When the particular crystal structure of solvent is maintained during allying, the alloy is called a Solid Solution. Dr. Mohammad Abuhaiba, PE

From PD, we can predict: how a material will solidify under equilibrium conditions what phases for diff temp and comp. Equilibrium means that state of a system remains constant over an indefinite period of time. Dr. Mohammad Abuhaiba, PE

Solidus temperature. Freezing range: pure metals and alloys When temperature of molten metal is reduced to freezing point: energy of latent heat of solidification is given off while temperature remains constant. Eventually, solidification is complete and solid metal continues cooling to RT. Dr. Mohammad Abuhaiba, PE

9.9 Development of Microstructure in Isomorphous Alloys The completely solidified alloy in the phase diagram shown is a solid solution because: alloying element (Cu, solute atom) is completely dissolved in host metal (Ni, solvent atom), Each grain has same composition. atomic radius of Cu is 0.128nm and that of Ni is 0.125nm, Both elements are of FCC structure; HRRs are obeyed. Dr. Mohammad Abuhaiba, PE

9.9 Development of Microstructure in Isomorphous Alloys Two conditions required for growth of solid a: Growth requires that latent heat of fusion (DHf), which evolves as liquid solidifies, be removed from solid liquid interface. Unlike the case of pure metals, diffusion must occur so that compositions of solid and liquid phases follow solidus and liquidus curves during cooling. DHf is removed over a range of temperatures so that cooling curves shows a change in slope Dr. Mohammad Abuhaiba, PE

9.9 Development of Microstructure in Isomorphous Alloys On cooling from liquidus to 1250oC, some Ni atoms must diffuse from 1st solid to new solid, reducing Ni in 1st solid. Additional Ni atoms diffuse from solidifying liquid to new solid. Meanwhile, Cu atoms have concentrated –by diffusion – into remaining liquid. The process must continue until we reach solidus temperature, where last liquid to freeze, which contains Cu-28%Ni, solidifies and forms a solid containing Cu-40%Ni. Dr. Mohammad Abuhaiba, PE
