Phase Diagrams I & II

Arizona State University via Coursera

Overview

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.

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.
