Construction of a web-based tutorial for hypothetical binary phase diagrams

Lingjun Zhang, Purdue University

Abstract

This thesis is focused on completing the binary phase diagram portion of a five year FeMET project, funded by the Association of Iron and Steel Technology (AIST) and the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI). The purpose of this project is to produce a worldwide web-based interactive tutorial for users to understand and learn ternary phase diagrams more easily. The tutorial consists of sections that cover both binary and ternary phase diagrams. For the binary phase diagram portion, modules have been developed for hypothetical isomorphous, eutectic, peritectic, and monotectic phase diagrams. The modules for each type of binary phase diagrams consist of an introduction, Gibbs free energy curves, the use of the lever law, solidification paths, crystal growth, and microstructural development.
