Campbell, editor  \nCopyright © 2012 ASM International® All rights reserved  \n[www.asminternational.org](www.asminternational.org)  \nChapter 10  \nTernary Phase Diagrams  \nTernAry SySTeMS are those having three components. It is not possible to describe the composition of a ternary alloy with a single number or fraction, as was done with binary alloys, but the statement of two independent values is sufficient. For example, the composition of an Fe-Cr-Ni alloy may be described fully by stating that it contains 18% Cr and 8% ni. There is no need to say that the iron content is 74%. But the requirement that two parameters must be stated to describe ternary composition means that two dimensions must be used to represent composition on a complete phase diagram. The external variables that must be considered in ternary constitution are temperature, pressure, composition X, and composition Y. To construct a complete diagram representing all these variables would require the use of a four-dimensional space. This being out of the question, it is customary to assume pressure constant (atmospheric pressure) and to construct a three-dimensional (3-D) diagram representing, as variables, the temperature and two concentration parameters. Therefore, in any application of the phase rule, it should be recalled that one degree of freedom has been exercised in the initial construction of the 3-D diagram by electing to draw it at one atmosphere of pressure.  \n10.1 Space Model of Ternary Systems  \nTo represent completely the phase equilibria at constant pressure in a ternary system, a 3-D model, commonly termed a space model, is required; the representation of composition requires two dimensions, and that of temperature, a third dimension. The model used is a triangular prism (Fig. 10.1), in which the temperature is plotted on the vertical axis, and the composition is represented on the base of the prism, which may be conveniently taken as an equilateral triangle. Thus, in Fig. 10.1, the vertical sides of the prism represent the three binary systems, AB, BC, and AC, that make up the ternary system, ABC.  \n192 / Phase Diagrams—Understanding the Basics  \nA hypothetical ternary phase space diagram made up of metals A, B, and C is shown in Fig. 10.2. This diagram contains two binary eutectics on the two visible faces ofthe diagram, and a third binary eutectic between elements B and C hidden on the back of the plot. Because it is difficult to use  \nFig. 10.1 Space model for ternary phase diagrams  \nFig. 10.2 hpryeposehteatlicaongl ttrnarye threphasee facesdiagramadapte.dBfinary phrom refse01diagrams are  \nChapter 10: Ternary Phase Diagrams / 193  \nthe 3-D ternary plot, the information from the diagrams can be plotted in two dimensions by any of several methods, including the liquidus plot, the isothermal plot, and a vertical section called an isopleth.  \nLiquidus Plots. The temperature at which freezing begins is shaded in Fig. 10.2. In Fig. 10.3, these temperatures for each composition are transferred onto a triangular diagram; the liquidus temperatures are plotted as isothermal contours. This presentation is helpful in predicting the freezing temperature of an alloy. note that the liquidus lines have arrows indicating the freezing direction toward the ternary eutectic point. The liquidus plot also gives the identity of the primary phase that will form during solidification for any given alloy composition. Similar plots, known as solidus plots, showing solidus freezing are sometime presented.  \nIsothermal Plots. An isothermal plot shows the phases present in any alloy at a particular temperature and is useful in predicting the phases and their amounts and compositions at that temperature. An isothermal section from Fig. 10.2 at room temperature is shown in Fig. 10.4. Isothermal plots are by far the most useful because they allow compositional analysis, while liquidus and isopleth plots do not allow composition","cbCaiekj8zFPzTQ9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiekj8zFPzTQ9","pdf",219643,"English","# Chapter 10: Ternary Phase Diagrams\n## Space Model of Ternary Systems\n## Liquidus Plots\n## Isothermal Plots\n## Isopleth Plots\n## Single-Phase Boundary and Zero-Phase Fraction Lines","[{\"question\":\"Why do ternary systems require two composition dimensions to describe phase diagrams?\",\"answer\":\"Because ternary composition cannot be fully expressed with a single number or fraction, two independent values are needed.
