Shows how materials engineers use phase diagrams to form a base on which to design the composition of alloys, because the way in which alloys are heat treated during processing influences the way they...
Teaching module on phase diagrams, which uses various igneous systems to examine their use and interpretation. Incorporates user interactions, animations and simulations, and demonstrates the relationship...
1: What free energy curves are; how they can be calculated for any phase; the free energy curve for a pure component and how, for an alloy, the free energy of any phase can be related to its composition; the...
A CD-ROM containing various modules for teaching materials science. (Some parts are further described in individual entries.)
Explains why phenocrysts (large mineral crystals) form in lava flows and why one molten lava forms phenocrysts of a different mineral from another. Examines the crystallisation and melting behaviour of...
1: Introduces cooling curves for single and dual component alloy systems and illustrates the empirical measurement of melting points for pure components from the arrest. Introduces for binary alloys the...
Experiments to show that metals are crystalline. Observation of crystal formation in thin films of organic material. Fast and slow cooling of zinc. Polishing and etching techniques for the metallurgical...
