--a composition (e.g., wt% Cu - wt% Ni), and

--a temperature ( T )

then...

Definitions and basic concepts

  • Component: pure metals and/or compounds of which an

alloy is composed

  • System: a specific body of material under consideration
  • A phase: a homogeneous portion of a system that has

uniform physical and chemical characteristics

  • Equilibrium: a system is at equilibrium if its free energy is

at a minimum under some specified combination of

temperature, pressure, and composition.

  • Phase equilibrium: minimum energy for a system with

multiple phases

  • Phase diagram: information about phases as function of T,

composition, and pressure

Question: What is the

solubility limit at 20C?

Answer: 65wt% sugar.

If C

o

< 65wt% sugar: syrup

If C

o

> 65wt% sugar: syrup

+ sugar.

• Solubility limit increases

with T:

e.g., if T = 100C, solubility

limit = 80wt% sugar.

Phase Diagrams

  • Indicate phases as function of T , C o

, and P.

  • For this course:

-binary systems: just 2 components.

-independent variables: T and C

o

( P = 1 atm is almost always used).
