The use of principles of phase diagrams to predict microstructures and properties of metals and alloys.

Syllabus

Phase Diagrams I & II

In this course, we will look at phase diagrams and how they are used to determine the state of the material as a function of temperature and composition. We will also investigate how the microstructure and materials properties can be manipulated as a function of temperature and composition. A special focus will be on the eutectic phase diagram.

Module 1: Diffusion and Its Mechanisms

In this module, we explain the concepts of solubility, solubility limit, saturation and solubility limit lines (solvus) on phase diagrams.

Module 2: Eutectic Phase Diagrams

The eutectic phase diagram is important for solder ball and inter-metal interconnects in semiconductor industry. In this module we discuss eutectic phase diagrams.

Module 3: Eutectic Microstructures

In this module, we examine eutectic microstructure and eutectic properties.

Module 4: Microstructures and Properties

In this module, you will explore hypoeutectic and hypereutectic alloys and their composition and cooling impacts microstructures.
