Solid–Solid Solutions

Solid–Solid Solutions

The temperature-composition phase diagram of two solids, A and B, which are immiscible in the solid phase but form miscible liquids, shows that when the temperature is low, these two exist as separate, pure solids (A and B). As the temperature increases, they transition into a single-phase liquid solution where A and B coexist. Moving from point a1 to a2 in the phase diagram, the composition changes such that solid B begins to separate from the solution, enriching the remaining liquid with A.

Study of Cu-Sn peritectic system.
Utilizing Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) for microstructural and crystallographic analysis.

Main Results:

Observed a shift in dendrite growth direction from <100> to <110> with increasing zinc content in Al-Zn samples.
Identified twinned dendrites with a (111) twin plane in Al-X alloys.
Revealed preferential basal orientation in Zn-Al coatings and reinforcement by <1010> dendrite growth.
Measured significant intra-granular misorientations in Al-Zn-Si coatings.
Characterized the continuous network microstructure in Cu-Sn peritectic system and confirmed Kurdjumov-Sachs relationship between alpha and beta phases.
