Solidification of pure metals, effect of variables on structure solidification as a nucleation and growth process. Solidification of non-crystalline materials. Preparation of materials to reveal structure, use of microscope, annealing of metals, grain growth, surface energy and shapes of crystals. Deformation, slip, twinning, effect of microstructure, viscous flow. Annealing of deformed metals. Effect of variables. Binary equilibria - alloying, solid solutions. Equilibrium of phase diagrams, complete solubility, Cu/Ni type, Lever rule. Effect of cooling changes in solid, heterogeneous equilibria, Claudius - Chaperon on vapour pressure, phase rule, definitions and proof. Introducing activity and potential P-T diagrams, condensed systems. Peritectics, more complex equilibrium diagrams with maxima, minima compounds, etc. Iron - iron carbide diagram, hysteresis, allotropy. Applications-- cast steel, wrought steels, effect of cooling on structure of steels. Martensite. Quenching, T.T.T. curves, hardenability. Bainite, alloying. Tempering properties and structure. Surface hardening. High alloy steels, cast irons, stability Fe3C, Iron-graphite equilibrium. Copper, copper -- zinc alloys as an example of different strengthening processes. 400 Level GET 402 Engineering Project I (2 Units: C; PH 90)
