Aims
On completion of this TLP you should:
- understand the thermodynamic principles behind free-energy curves
- understand how free-energy curves relate to equilibrium phase diagrams
- be able to construct a binary phase diagram from cooling curves
- be able to use phase diagrams to predict the composition and volume fraction of phases
