Phase Diagrams and Relationships
Lecturers: Wolfgang Bach
Thermodynamic foundation of phase diagrams and phase relations. Construction of phase diagrams. Use of phase diagrams of unary, binary, and ternary systems. Topics include: congruent and incongruent melting, complete and limited solid solutions, subsolidus reactions. The use of binary and ternary diagrams in deducing quantitaitve information on the abundance and composition of phases as a function of pressure, temperature, and system composition will be exercised.
At the end of this course, the students will be able to understand the purpose and thermodynamic foundation of phase diagrams and can use them to give crystallization and melting processes in multicomponent systems a quantitative treatment.
