Phase equilibrium diagrams are essentially maps of composition, temperature, and, in some cases, pressure space that define regimes for thermodynamic stability for one or more condensed phases. Phase ...

Copper and Nickel form a substitutional solid solution over the complete range of possible compositions of the alloy. The equilibrium "phase diagram" opposite shows the dependence of the alloys ...

The phase diagram between lead and tin shows the eutectic invariant reaction between these two constituents. At the eutectic temperature of 183 C, three phases exist in equilibrium: (Pb) with the ...
