3. UNIT-I
CONSTITUTION OF ALLOY
AND PHASE DIAGRAMS

4. IMPURITIES IN SOLIDS
• Impurities are always present in all materials.
ALLOY:
• It is a mixture of two or more metals. Metal and
a non metal.

5. SOLID vs LIQUID SOLUTON

6. HUME ROTHERY’S RULES
• The solute and solvent follows the following
general rules:
1. Size factor (similar size)
2. Crystal structure(same crystal structure)
3. Valence (same valence)
4. Electronegativity (approximately same electro
negativity)

7. TYPES OF SOLID SOLUTIONS
1. Substitutional solid solutions
(mixture of two elements, substitute for a
parent element)
a) Random b)Ordered
2.Interstital solid solutions
(the solute atom fit in to the space between
solvent and parent atom)

(ONE COMPONENT PHASE DIAGRAM)

12. GIBBS PHASE RULE
• F=C-P+2
• Where, c= number of components
• P= number of phases
