MATH 1M03 Study Guide - Final Guide: Phase Diagram, Starflight, Microstructure
Document Summary
9. 16: this section is devoted to a study of the phase diagram for this system and the development of several of the possible microstructures. Things you should understand by the end of this chapter: The difference between a component and a phase. How to interpret a binary phase diagram identification of phases: composition of each phase, amount of each phase. How to use phase diagrams to predict microstructure. The basis of the fe-c phase diagram. Solubility: the maximum equilibrium concentration of a solute in a host material. If you have 1l (1000g) of water, how much sugar can you dissolve in it? (note solubility of water is 65% wt sugar: 650g of sugar, 2000g of sugar, 1350g of sugar. The solution is 65% (about 2/3) sugar and 1/3 water. The weight of the sugar is twice that of the water so 2000g is the answer. Alloys are defined by a composition which expresses how much of each element is present.
