Study Notes
- Lead-tin system was used for solders but phased out due to lead toxicity.
- Aluminum-silicon alloys are used for lightweight castings with good fluidity and strengthening effect.
- Zirconia can have different crystal structures affecting processing and use at high temperatures.
- Yttria can stabilize zirconia in its cubic form, creating yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ).
- Hume-Rothery rules include valency, electronegativity, size, and lattice type factors for solid solutions.
- Failure to follow Hume-Rothery rules can lead to miscibility gaps and melting points in alloys.
- Eutectic systems have lower melting points than pure components in binary alloys.
- Crystal structure affects material properties, with defects influencing properties in crystalline materials.
- Polycrystalline materials like alumina ceramics consist of multiple crystals in their structure.
- Lever rule can calculate phase proportions in alloys, with compositions of phases determining the amount of each phase.
