Mission & Achievements

APDIC promotes phase diagram evaluation and the dissemination of high-quality information, its application in industry and academia.

Available courses/lectures on the web for learning/teaching phase diagrams

Compiled are resources on phase diagrams available on the web. This is not exhaustive and surely not complete at all.

●	https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/materials-science-and-engineering/3-091sc-introduction-to-solid-state-chemistry-fall-2010/solid-solutions/33-unary-phase-diagrams/ and https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/materials-science-and-engineering/3-091sc-introduction-to-solid-state-chemistry-fall-2010/solid-solutions/34-binary-phase-diagrams-complete-solubility/ from MIT Very good presentation unfortunately limited to very basic concepts. Very good as an introduction.
●	https://dyedavid.com/mse104/ by David Dye, Imperial College 17 lectures of ~30 min Very good and comprehensive. Limited to binary systems.
●	https://nptel.ac.in/courses/113104068/ by Dr. Krishanu Biswas, IIT Kanpur 61 lectures of ~25min Very complete and comprehensive, includes everything from what is a phase to a complete description of ternary diagrams, includes detailed home assignments
●	The following videos are free trial versions from the complete courses on coursera.org. For the complete courses, it is necessary to register. Seems to be limited to binary systems with some thermodynamics inside. https://www.coursera.org/lecture/materials-science/introduction-to-phase-diagrams-9SjZ3 from UC Davis https://www.coursera.org/lecture/material-science-engineering/1-11-deviations-from-ideal-behavior-klVly from Georgia Tech
●	The lectures by Harshad (Harry) Bhadeshia from the University of Cambridge are a rich resource for many topics in materials science: https://www.phase-trans.msm.cam.ac.uk/teaching.html and particularly: https://www.phase-trans.msm.cam.ac.uk/thermodynamics.html This site has links to files and videos.

For Teachers

●	A very good document called 'How we learned to love the phase diagram with a Ti-Cr alloy characterization lab' by Katherine C. Chen that can give ideas to teachers: https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=&httpsredir=1&article=1014&context=mate_facSites visited 25-Mar-2020
