Phase Transformations in Metals
by David A. Porter, Kenneth E. Easterling · David Porter
A graduate-level text covering the thermodynamics, kinetics, and diffusion theory behind phase transformations in metals, then applying them to solidification, diffusional transformations, and diffusionless transformations, with engineering alloy case studies throughout.

An interactive teaching package from the University of Cambridge covering binary phase diagrams, eutectic and peritectic reactions, the lever rule, and cooling curves, with worked examples and self-test questions for materials science students.
Phase Transformations
Learn about phase diagrams and transformations in materials science with Prof. Ratna Sunil. Explore key concepts in this comprehensive course.
Thermodynamics of Materials (MIT 3.020)
The competition between energy and disorder in materials: classical thermodynamics applied to phase equilibria, phase transformations, phase diagrams and chemical reactions, plus computational thermodynamics and an introduction to statistical thermodynamics. Offers 38 lecture videos, notes and problem sets for reading and constructing phase diagrams.
Phase Diagrams
This course will explore higher-level details about phase diagrams, including the Fe-Fe3C phase diagram. We will use the Fe-Fe3C phase diagram to predict the possible phases and microstructures of a steel alloy based on its composition.
Physical Metallurgy Principles
A foundational metallurgical engineering textbook covering crystal structure, dislocation theory, diffusion, phase transformations, and mechanical behavior of metals, building the physical-chemistry framework needed to understand how alloy microstructure determines material properties.
