How to use phase diagrams and the lever rule to understand metal alloys

[@someguy7723]

Im torn between just enjoying how simple and well you explain things, and being irrationally angry at my own lecturer for just being so bad at explaining somthing he clearly knows every aspect off... Great work man, you are a life saver, and saves me from hating material engineering

[@BillyWu]

Thanks. I think material science is a really interesting subject! Can do some much with it

[@bruhxd9209]

My god i relate

[@makego]

I feel ya. This was the case for my calculus classes. The rambling professor was not only the instructor but had also written our relatively impenetrable textbook. One of my classmates quipped, "He knows what he's doing; he just can't tell you about it!"

[@terrycheng4094]

Same thoughts bro. This guy is just too good compare to my lecturer.

[@sollinw]

the best video I ve seen about this theme so far

[@BillyWu]

Thanks. Appreciate the comment

[@rajaryaann]

True

[@rahulmenon-jt6pb]

Thank you so much. I never had proper clarity about this while pursuing my engineering degree. Now I do! All thanks to you!

[@BillyWu]

absolutely plain and simple, thank you professor 🔥 I don't even study this field but it's still good to know for my job (i'm a blacksmith and i try to make new alloys)

[@BillyWu]

Thanks. Glad to hear it was interesting and useful

[@micas9206]

Hello, Thank you so much for this video!!! It helped clarify so much that I missed in lectures. Could you clarify or provide a source that explains why we can use the lever rule to help us find out the wt% compositions of each phase? 19:08

[@BillyWu]

Thanks. I have a separate video where I go though the full derivation for the lever rule which can be found here (kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4jWZ4asabhqr7csi=8BixPQrt0foTLhkp). In terms of good source, I recommend Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction by Callister

[@bijayanshrestha2459]

Hello sir, at 17:29 when Mn/M = X/100, why did you divide by 100? thank you

[@BillyWu]

Good question. M_N is the mass of nickel and M is the total mass of the alloy. M_N/M is therefore the mass fraction of nickel in the alloy expressed as a fraction. X we define as the percentage composition of nickel in the alloy and thus the division by 100 is to convert the percentage amount to a fractional amount.

[@Steynkasegwe]

Well compiled and explained thank you

[@BillyWu]

Glad it was helpful!

[@thedazzlingape2006]

one reason I heard nordic gold was used for coins is because it is a hellish material to diy, it has an insane oxidazation and slag build up which makes cleanly casting it a very fickle and near impossible task, without some proper machinery and setups. so think of it like this: "if you make a perfect 50cent coin mold, it would take you atleast 5 50cent coins to have 1 successful 50cent coin. because most of the alloy would turn into slag/crud/oxidated-sponge-mass"

[@BillyWu]

Great insight

[@Doofenshmirtz1088]

The only thing I'm having trouble understanding is the area between the liquidus line on the right and the horizontal line. Is that area void of alpha?

[@BillyWu]

If you're referring to the region which is beta+liquid, yes, there is no alpha in this region. Only a 2 phase region of solid beta and liquid, with a microstructure similar to the one sketched on slide 12 for the low silvercomposition, but for the beta+liquid region with high silver composition, there is alpha instead of beta.

[@rajeevmech9]

simple and informative

[@BillyWu]

Glad it was helpful!

[@izyhew1081]

Sir,may i know how to calculate lever rule if the mass of unknown liquids are given without molar mass for temperature-composition phase diagram?

[@kucingputih2649]

Thankyou so much for explaining it. May I ask what if we have 3 different metals. How is the graph gonna be?

[@BillyWu]

Thanks. Glad to hear you found it useful. As you go to more elements the graph does become a bit more messy. If you search for ternary phase diagrams you can see some examples of the presentation of 3 element systems.

[@kucingputih2649]

@@BillyWu I appreciate your response. I'll definitely check out ternary phase diagrams.

[@yigitcan824]

Hi professor I have a question here about driving force. Why does driving force increases as temperature differrence is increasing ? If we have large supercooling , for example, we have _many nucleis, small crystals ,rapid nucleation rate_ .But for small supercooling we have opposites. I wonder why it is like that?

[@BillyWu]

Temperature is a key parameter in controlling metal properties. Under slow cooling rates, atoms have sufficient time to move to where they thermodynamically want to be, allowing for the formation of larger crystals and more ductile metals. For faster cooling you get many nucleation sites resulting in smaller crystals. The finer grains tend to increase strength but reduce ductility
