(cid:2)2012JohnWiley&Sons,Ltd.Published2012byJohnWiley&Sons,Ltd. 2 Solidification andCrystallizationProcessing inMetalsand Alloys 1.1 Introduction Solidification or crystallization is a process where the atoms are transferred from the disordered liquidstatetothemoreorderedsolidstate.Therateofthecrystallizationprocessisdescribedand controlledbykineticlaws.Theselawsgiveinformationofthemovementsoftheatomsduringthe rearrangement.Inmostcasesadrivingforceisinvolvedthatmakesitpossibletoderivetherateofthe solidification process. The aim of this book is to study the solidification processes in metals and alloys. The laws of thermodynamics and other fundamental physical laws, which control the solidification, rule these processes. In this preparatory chapter the basic concepts and laws of thermodynamics are introduced. They will be the tools in following chapters. In particular, this is true for the second chapter, where the driving forces of solidification for pure metals and binary alloys are derived and therelationshipbetweenenergycurvesofsolidmetalsandmetalmeltsandtheirphasediagrams is emphasized. 1.2 Thermodynamic Concepts and Relationships 1.2.1 First Law of Thermodynamics. Principle of Conservation of Energy Oneofthemostfundamentallawsofphysicsisthelawofconservationofenergy.Sofar,itisknown to be valid without any exceptions. When applied in thermodynamics it is called the first law of thermodynamicsand iswritten Q¼UþW ð1:1Þ where Q ¼ heat energyadded toa closed system U ¼ the internal energyof the system or the sum ofthe kinetic andpotential energiesof the atoms W ¼ work done bythe system. Differentiating Equation(1.1) givesthe relationship dQ¼dUþdW ¼dUþpdV ð1:2Þ The added heat dQ is used for the increase dU of the internal energy of the system and for the externalworkpdVagainstthesurroundingpressurepwhenthevolumeofthesystemincreasesby the amount dV. 1.2.2 Enthalpy The enthalpy ofa closed system isdefinedas H ¼UþpV ð1:3Þ The enthalpy H can be described as the ‘heat content’ of the system. In the absence of phase transformations we have ðT H ¼ nC dT ð1:4Þ p 0
