Figure 1.11 Schematic illustration of the stages during solidification of molten

metal; each small square represents a unit cell. (a) Nucleation of crystals at
random sites in the molten metal; note that the crystallographic orientation of
each site is different. (b) and (c) Growth of crystals as solidification continues.
(d) Solidified metal, showing individual grains and grain boundaries; note the
different angles at which neighboring grains meet each other.

Figure 4.3 (a) Schematic illustration of grains, grain boundaries, and particles dispersed
throughout the structure of a two-phase system, such as a lead-copper alloy. The grains
represent lead in solid solution in copper, and the particles are lead as a second phase.
(b) Schematic illustration of a two-phase system consisting of two sets of grains: dark
and light. The dark and the light grains have separate compositions and properties.

Figure 4.13 Microstructure for cast irons. Magnification: 100x. (a) Ferritic gray iron
with graphite flakes. (b) Ferritic ductile iron (nodular iron) with graphite in nodular
form. (c) Ferritic malleable iron. This cast iron solidified as white cast iron with the
carbon present as cementite and was heat treated to graphitize the carbon.

Figure 4.16 Hardness of tempered martensite as a function of

tempering time for the 1080 steel quenched to 65 HRC. Hardness
decreases because the carbide particles coalesce and grow in size,
thereby increasing the interparticle distance of the softer ferrite.
