Unit Cell
The unit cell and, consequently, the
entire lattice, is uniquely determined by
the six lattice constants: a, b, c, α, β and
γ.
• Only 1/8 of each lattice point in a unit
cell can actually be assigned to that
cell.
• Each unit cell in the figure can be
associated with 8 x 1/8 = 1 lattice
point.

Related terms and their definitions :
System
• Thermodynamically, a system is an isolated body of matter which is under study.
• A substance or a group of substances so isolated from its surroundings that it
is totally unaffected by the surroundings but changes in its overall composition,
temperature, pressure or total volume can be allowed.
• A system may contain solids, liquids, gases or their combination.
• It may have metals ,non-metals separately or in combined form.
Phase
• A phase is a substance or a portion of matter which ishomogenous,
physically distinct and mechanically separable..
• Physically distinct and mechanically separable means that the phase will have a
definite boundary surface.
• Different phases are given different names or symbols like α (alpha),ß (Beta), γ
(Gamma), etc.
Variables :
• A particular phase exists under various conditions of temp., pressure, and
concentration. These parameters are called as variables of the phase system.
Equilibrium:
• A system is at equilibrium if its free energy is at a minimum, given a specified
combination of temperature, pressure and composition.
Component:
• Components are pure metals and/or compounds of which an alloy is composed. For
example, in a copper–zinc brass, the components are Cu and Zn.
• It refers to a independent chemical species. The components of a system may be
elements, ions or compounds.
• A component can exist in many phases.
• Water exists as ice, liquid water, and water vapor.
• Carbon exists as graphite and diamond.
Alloys
• Pure metals because of their poor physical and mechanical properties are seldom
used in engineering applications. Most of useful metallic materials are combinations
of metals which are called alloys.
• An alloy can be defined as a substance possessing metallic properties, having
metallic bond and composed of two or more than two elements out of which atleast
one of them is metal.
• Metal present in larger proportion is called base metal while other metallic or non-
metallic element is known as alloying element.
• Elements may combine in different ways to form alloys.
• These elements of alloys usually show complete solubility in liquid state. However,
on cooling them to solid state, they may form mechanical mixtures or
homogenous phases.
Solid solutions
• Solid Solution: It is an alloy in which the atoms of solute are distributed in
the solvent and has the same structure as that of the solvent.

Nucleation : homogeneous
Nucleation: localized formation of a distinct thermodynamics
phase.
Most nucleation processes are physical, rather than chemical.
Nucleation normally occurs at nucleation sites on surface
contacting the liquid or vapor. Suspended particles or minute
bubbles also provide nucleation sites. This is called
heterogeneous nucleation.
Nucleation without preferential nucleation sites is
homogeneous nucleation. Homogeneous nucleation occurs
spontaneously and randomly, but it requires undercooling or
supercooling.
Homogeneous nucleation occurs with much more difficulty in
the interior of a uniform substance.
Consider volume of liquid phase under condition such that
formation of solid is thermodynamically possible i.e. ∆fv is
negative
Now spherical particle of radius r is to form, an interface must
be created between solid and surrounding liquid
So overall change in free energy required to form spherical
solid is given by
∆f = 4πr2ᵞ + 4/3πr3∆fv
ᵞ = energy required to create one unit area interface
Change in free energy = energy needed to create interface +
energy released by volume of solidifying phase or
= surface energy + volume energy
First term is always positive and second term is negative for
any phase transformation under consideration
From above fig. initially for smaller values of r volume energy
is smaller than surface energy and it becomes greater for larger
values of r since it varies as r3
Particle less than r* will not able to grow (embryos) and
redissolve and particles greater than r* are called as nuclei and
grow
Heterogeneous Nucleation
It occurs at surfaces, imperfections and severely deformed regions which
lowers the critical free energy
In molten metal foreign particles are present as impurities which lowers the
liquid solid interface energy which helps in nucleation
Basic requirement of heterogeneous nucleation is ability of liquid metal to
wet the foreign particle and also ability of foreign body to be getting wetted by
liquid metal
After initial nucleation
More solid may be deposited upon the first nuclei
More nuclei may form
A different phase may occur in the melt
Heterogeneous Nucleation
If foreign matter (fm) is wetted by both solid and liquid, the force equilibrium
where the three surfaces i.e. foreign matter (fm), solid (s), and liquid (L) meets is

Imperfections in crystals
Perfect crystals do not exist; even the best crystals
have 1ppb defects.
Imperfections or Defect: imperfection or "mistake"
in the regular periodic arrangement of atoms in a
crystal
Defects, even in very small concentrations, can have a
dramatic impact on the properties of a material.
In many situations defects are desirable.

Plastic Deformation by Slip
Plastic deformation by slip occurs by movement or sliding
of one plane of atoms over the other.
Slip occurs when the shear stress resolved on slip plane and
along slip direction exceeds a critical value (CRSS). The
atoms move an integral number of atomic distances along
the slip plane and a setp is produced.

Twining is not a dominant deformation mechanism in
metals which posses many possible slip systems.
111 8/18/2020
Plastic Deformation by Twinning
The important role of twining in plastic
deformation comes not from the strain produced
by the twining process but from the fact that
orientation changes resulting from twining may
place new slip systems in a favourable orientation
w.r.t. the stress axis so that additional slip can take
place.

Phase rule
Phase rule: Gibb’s phase rule describes the thermodynamic state of
a material.
This famous rule is used to determine the number of phases that
can coexist in equilibrium in a given system.
It has the general form: F = C – P + 2
C is the number of components, usually elements or compounds, in
the system.
F is the number of degrees of freedom, or number of variables, such
as temperature, pressure, or composition that are allowed to change
independently without changing the number of phases in
equilibrium.
P is the number of phases present
The constant “2” in the equation implies that both temperature and
pressure are allowed to change.
Gibbs Phase Rule
Gibbs' phase rule describes the degrees of freedom (F) in a closed
system at equilibrium, in terms of the number of separate phases (P)
and the number of chemical components (C) in the system.
F+P=C+2
Where “2” represent two external variables, pressure & temperature.
So, F = C –P + 1
At AB, F = 1

Plotting of Equilibrium diagrams
Equilibrium diagrams can be plotted by using following
techniques
Thermal analysis
Dilatometry
Optical and electron microscopy
X-ray and electron diffraction
Thermodynamics data analysis
Electrical resistivity
Magnetic measurement
Note: Most of the times, equilibrium or phase diagram are
plotted by method of thermal analysis using the data obtained
from cooling curve and other methods are generally used to
eliminate the ambiguities exiting in the diagram plotted by the
above method.
Two Metals Completely Soluble in the
Liquid and Solid States (Isomorphous
system)
Since the two metals are completely soluble in the solid state, the only type
of solid phase formed will be a substitutional solid solution. The two metals
will generally have the same type of crystal structure and differ in atomic
radii by less than 8 percent.
Similarly, TB is plotted.
of A and B,
80A-20B is drawn,
Two points:- TA and TB represent the melting points of the two pure metals.
Two lines:-The upper line, obtained by connecting the points showing the beginning
of solidification, is called the liquidus; and the lower line, determined by connecting
the points showing the end of solidification, is called the solidus line.
Three area:-
The area above the liquidus line is a single-phase region, and any alloy in that region will consist
of a homogeneous liquid solution.
Similarly, the area below the solidus line is a single-phase region, and any alloy in this region
will consist of a homogeneous solid solution.
Between the liquidus and solidus lines there exists a two-phase region. Any alloy in this region
will consist of a mixture of a liquid solution and a solid solution.
