2Why important ?Some properties that might be difficult to predict using a common sense without the knowledge of the phase diagrams
example 1: Melting temperature of a mixture AB (solution) of two components A and B could be either lower or higher than the melting point of each component (!). This could be a failure mechanism in electronic or mechanical components. But could also be used to your advantage.
example 2: Upon cooling to a lower temperature a phase transformation of a material could cause expansion, which could cause internal stresses and failure (e.g. tin food cans will crumble at low T)
example 3: No abrupt liquid-to-solid transformation when two components are present (solid + liquid in a temperature range)
Example: Chip-Solder-Joint-Failure
Why important ?Some properties that might be difficult to predict using a common sense without the knowledge of the phase diagrams
example 4: Tmelt (Sn) = 232 C, Tmelt (Pb) = 327 C
but Tmelt(Sn0.62Pb0.38) = 183 C, so this is a common soldering alloy
example 5: Tmelt (Au) = 1064 C, Tmelt (Si) = 2550 Cbut Tmelt(Au0.97Si0.03) = 363 C, so thin layer of gold is used to attach Si chip to a ceramic substrate (shock protection)
example 6: Mechanical properties (hardness and tensile strength) of an alloy could be substantially higher than that of the individual components (e.g. hardness (AgCu) about twice the harness of Ag or Cu)

In a two-phase field need to specify either the temperature or the composition of one of the phases.

Note that upon cooling from T max at the alloy composition X there is a phase change but no composition change (CONGRUENT melting)

Peritectic Phase Diagrams
l + =
if both the L and S phases have a tendency to cluster, the liquidustemperature increase and the solidus temperature decreases
In addition, a miscibility gap(region of non-mixing) appears
A progressive increase in the clustering tendency leads to the PERITECTIC phase diagram

HW Questions
1. When a solid melts congruently, the liquid and solid have different / the same composition(s).
2. At constant temperature the fraction of the phases in a two-phase field changes / remains the same when the overall composition of the alloy is
changed, but remains in the two-phase field.
3. Why would alloys close to the eutectic composition be suitable for castings rather than alloy compositions far from the eutectic composition?
4. On cooling when a two-phase liquid plus solid transforms to a solid phase the transformation is eutectic / peritectic in nature.
5. On cooling the peritectoid reaction written symbolically has one phase going to two / two phases going to one.

Summary One-component phase diagrams with
temperature and pressure as the experimental variables that affect equilibrium.
Introduction to the Gibbs Phase Rule and its application to one-component systems.
Two-component systems and the rules that govern the composition of the phases, the number of phases and the amount of each phase at equilibrium.
The applications of these rules to complex, two-component systems illustrated that regardless of how complex the phase diagram appeared, the rules that were developed could be easily applied.
