Engineering Materials ME-221) : Instructor: Dr. Rafiq Ahmad

The document discusses a lecture on phase diagrams and cooling curves. It introduces the grading policy for a materials engineering course and assigns a mini-project on metal alloys due on September 18th. It also previews an upcoming quiz on why phase diagrams are studied. The remainder of the document provides an example of equilibrium cooling of a Cu-Ni alloy using its phase diagram, explaining the microstructural changes that occur during cooling. It distinguishes between two types of phase diagrams - one where metals are completely soluble in liquid and solid states, and one where they are soluble only in the liquid state.
