Phase Diagrams

This course will explore higher-level details about phase diagrams, including the Fe-Fe3C phase diagram. We will use the Fe-Fe3C phase diagram to predict the possible phases and microstructures of a steel alloy based on its composition. Understanding phase diagrams is fundamental to engineering metals for any industrial application, from building skyscrapers to fabricating semiconductor interconnects and chip packaging.

Module 1: Model System Fe-Fe3C and Phase Diagrams

In this module, we will examine phase diagrams and the Fe-Fe3C model system.

Module 2: Model System Fe-Fe3C

In this module, we will examine how to determine the microstructures that result from cooling different compositions of alloys in the Fe-Fe3C model system.
