Preface
Since J.W. Gibbs in 1878 succeeded comprehensively in establishing the basic principles for an understanding of equilibria in heterogeneous systems, numer-ous books concerning constitution diagrams have been written, some of them providing a formal treatment of phase equilibria down to the small detail. The purpose of the present book is to provide an introduction to the practical ap-plications of phase diagrams. In the first instance it is intended for students of chemistry, metallurgy, mineralogy and materials science, but also for engineers and students of science and engineering disciplines concerned with materials. To facilitate the start of an involvement with heterogeneous equilibria, reactions and dynamic equilibria will be treated first, since these are familiar to chemists and metallurgists.
Of course, a description of phase equilibria is not possible without a mini-mum of formalism. The formalistic description, however, will be made lighter by clear explanations of experimental methods used to determine the constitu-tion of a system, by application examples, as well as by discussing realistic cas-es from chemistry, metallurgy, materials science and mineralogy. By this, the ne-cessity of the knowledge of phase diagrams can be shown. On the other hand a practical exercise is possible.
The physical and energetic background to phase equilibria will also be treat-ed. In so doing, the principles of thermodynamics of mixtures will be discussed and the correlation between energetics and constitution demonstrated. In this way, the more qualitative framework which often surrounds the teaching of con-stitution will be surmounted and the interested reader will be provided with a tool enabling him to make quantitative predictions also concerning phenom-enological energetics and the structural and physical factors governing an in-dividual system. It will also be possible to make predictions concerning phase equilibria for systems for which experimental results can only be obtained with difficulty.
From the standpoint of practical application, the treatment of nucleation of phase transitions, the production and stability of technologically important metastable phases and attempts to understand metallic glasses will also be dis-cussed. There is currently a large-scale technologically motivated research ef-

fort in this area which is providing a broader and deeper understanding. A short survey of the most important facts will be presented.
Finally, a condensed presentation of the thermodynamics and constitution of polymer systems is included.
The book "Heterogene Gleichgewichte" though printed in 1982 is still very actual. We tried to make it a thermodynamic treatment for all materials: cover ceramics, organic materials, polymers and aqueous solutions (for geologists).
To upgrade the book, we introduced two new solution models, which permit the calculation of enthalpy of mixing and of phase diagrams in ternary, qua-ternary, quinary and larger systems from binary data alone. This is important in practical applications, where after calculations a few experimental measure-ments are sufficient to check the results. We also deal in greater detail with sec-ond order transitions in metals and polymers. For the use of ceramicists, we especially described the phase rule in ternary systems. In the aqueous solutions we show, how solubilities of several salts in water can be calculated, again using only binary data. Last but not least, we show that the same thermodynamic for-mulas used for metals and ceramic materials can be applied to organic materi-als, polymers and aqueous solutions.
No other text to our knowledge covers all these areas. For critical review of the text, we are grateful to several experts in the field,
especially Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult G. Petzow, Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. W. Gust, Prof. Dr. F. Sommer, Prof. Dr. W. Funke, Dr. I. Arpshofen and T. Godecke. Mrs. G. Kiim-merling and Dr. I. Arpshofen have prepared drawings.

Annotation If not mentioned otherwise, the extensive state functions were referred to 1 mol, for instance F, G, H, S and all differential values marked with Ll (except LlT). For mixtures with common content, these values are identical with those related to 1 g-atom.
Care should be taken, if molecules or molecule like species were considered, which have an exactly defined stoichiometry. In such cases the values related to 1 mol have to be converted into values related to 1 g-atom. This is done by dividing the molar value by the number of atoms in the formula unit, for, as well known, 1 mol consists of 6.023 * 1023 molecules, whereas 1 g-atom contains 6.023 * 1023 atoms.
As an example: Melting enthalpy of water is LlH~20 = 6.007 kJ/mol. This cor-responds to LlH~20 = 2002 kJ/g-atom.
