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.
Schools and Training
| ● | WRRS - APDIC World Round Robin Seminar APDIC has valuable human resources who are expert in assessing, calculating and determining a phase diagram. One of the new activities we decided to launch is to offer a series of educational seminars on phase diagrams to industry people and students. |
| ● | MSIT Winter School on Materials Chemistry. It comprises lectures given by experts within the MSIT network on Phase Diagrams, Classical and Computational Thermodynamics, Experimental Methods, Crystallography, Evaluation of Data, etc.  https://www.msiport.com/msit-events/msit-winter-school/next-msit-winter-school/ |
| ● | MSIT Advanced School on Materials Chemistry gives training to a much higher level than is offered at the annual MSIT Winter School. Aimed at materials scientists who may be already familiar with the subject but are looking for a deeper understanding. in 2025 in focus will be "Crystallography in Materials Science" |
Videos
| ● | 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 from Georgia Tech |
| ● | The lectures by Harshad (Harry) Bhadeshia from the University of Cambridge are a rich resource for many topics in materials science: and particularly: https://www.phase-trans.msm.cam.ac.uk/thermodynamics.html |
Web pages or documents
Among many other available resources on the web one may distinguish:
| ● | Thermodynamics and phase diagrams by Arthur Pelton: |
| ● | Free tools and tutorials by MSI Research. For example „The critical assessment of ternary alloy phase diagram data” - unpublished article of Alan Prince. The book Alloy Phase Equilibria written by Alan Prince and published in 1966 by Elsevier. |
| ● | Introductions to alloy phase diagrams by ASM International: |
