  2. Phase Transformation

  3. Nucleation and Growth 100 Nucleation rate increases with T % Pearlite Growth Growth rate increases with T regime 50 Nucleation regime t log(time) 0.5 0 pearlite colony g g g T just below TE T moderately below TE T way below TE Nucleation rate low . Nucleation rate med Nucleation rate high Growth rate high Growth rate med. Growth rate low • Reaction rate is a result of nucleation and growth of crystals. • Examples: Eutectoid reaction

  4. Nucleation nuclei (seeds) act as template to grow crystals Nucleation driving force increases as increase T • Supercooling (or undercooling) • superheating Small supercooling  few nuclei, large crystals Large supercooling  rapid nucleation, many nuclei, small crystals

  5. Fe-Fe3C phase diagram

  6. Solidification: Nucleation Processes • Homogeneous nucleation • nuclei form in the bulk of liquid metal • requires supercooling (typically 80-300°C max) • Heterogeneous nucleation • much easier since stable “nucleus” is already present • Could be wall of mold or impurities in the liquid phase • allows solidification with only 0.1-10ºC supercooling

  7. Surface Free Energy-destabilizes the nuclei (energy for makinmg surface) ,g = surface tension HS = latent heat of solidification DGT = Total Free Energy = DGS + DGV Volume (Bulk) Free Energy – stabilizes the nuclei (releases energy) Homogeneous Nucleation & Energy Effects r* = critical nucleus: nuclei < r* shrink; nuclei>r* grow

  8. Homogenous and Heterogeneous Nucleation

  9. Completely growth maximum rate reached – now amount unconverted decreases so rate slower rate increases as surface area increases & nuclei grow By convention r = 1 / t0.5 Rate of Phase Transformation Fixed T: Isothermal Fraction transformed, y log t
