Two metals completely soluble in liquid
state but only partly soluble in solid state
+ This type of phase
diagram show the partial
solid solubility. Les
+ T. and Ts indicate the ines)
melting points of two pure
metals.
+ TAETs is liquidus line and
TsFEGTs show solidus line
+ Above the liquidus line, the
is only single phase liquid
solution.
+ The lines FH and GH show
that with the deceasing the
temperature the maximum
amount of solute can be
dissolve deceases.
Composition, weight percent &+ In alloy 1: liquidus line is
cross 11 it will begin to
solidify by forming
crystals of a solid solution
extremely rich in A.
+ The process continuous
with liquid getting richer
in B and gradually
moving down along the
liquidus line.
+ The a solid solution also
getting richer in B,
moving down along the
solidus line.
+ When the solidus line
crossed at T4 and with
diffusion keeping pace with
crystal growth the entire
solid will be homogenous a
solid solution.

Composition, eight percent 8+ Alloy 2: is the eutectic
composition and
remains liquid until the
eutectic temperature
is reached at point E.
+ Since this is also the
solidus line, the liquid
now undergoes the
eutectic reaction, at
constant temperature
The eutectic reaction
may be written as
Liquid S2= atp
