Phase transformations
T, P, C change Þ new equilibrium state
New phase(s): stable or metastable
Phase transformation: A process. During phase
transformation new phase(s) with different structure (lattice,
microstructure) originates from the old phase(s).

Heterogeneous nucleation
Probability of nucleation is not equal in all parts of the
volume.
Foreign nuclei. Additive effect. Artificial increase of
nucleation.
Undercooling is smaller.
