Melting and Boiling Temperatures
![Page 5: DRSA Inreach](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56816356550346895dd4014c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Simple systems have a melting temperature and a boiling temperature
Engines made from alloy of aluminum and silicon
More complicated in alloys
Phases

What is an alloy Not a compound◦H2O◦CH4
Mixture of two or more metals in any proportion
Aluminum too soft, weak Add silicon to harden and strengthen
Alloys

Aluminum and silicon come out of the melt and form separate components at the microscopic level
Rather than melting and boiling temperatures, look at Phase Diagrams

◦Outside cools firstSolid outer shellMolten inner core, cools later, puts outer shell in tension
◦Different cooling rates lead to different microscopic structures◦Mismatch in microscopic structures create internal stresses
