Thermodynamic Concepts—Equilibrium and Nonequilibrium During Solidification

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Science and Engineering of Casting Solidification

Abstract

Thermodynamics is a useful tool for the analysis of solidification. It is used to evaluate alloy phase constitution, the solidification path, basic alloy properties such as partition coefficients , slopes of liquidus, and solidus phase boundaries.
