Thermodynamic foundations of phase equilibrium in component gaseous, liquid and solid systems will be established. Techniques for determining phase equilibrium diagrams will be introduced. Then the course treats two component systems and their phase diagrams started with the iron carbon phase system. The last portion of the course is devoted to tertiary and more component systems.
