PHASE:
Phase is part of a material which is homogeneous
in chemical composion and crystal structure. Phases
are sometimes confused with states of matter, but
there are significant differences. States of matter
refers to the differences between gases, liquids,
solids, plasma.
PHASE DIAGRAM :
A phase diagram is a concise presentation of
thermodynamic data. It is an equilibrium map
showing the phases that will be in equilibrium as the
temperature and overall composition are varied. The
system may have one component (unary), two
components (binary) or three components (ternary).

• BINARY SYSTEMS
A binary phase diagram shows the phases formed
in differing mixtures of two components over a range
of temperatures. When three component are present
in an alloy, then a ternary diagram is used.

There is more than one type of binary system. The
main difference being the solubility of the
components in each other – in the liquid and the solid
state.
I. ISOMORPHUS SYSTEMS:
The two components dissolve in each other in all
proportions in both liquid and solid state.

EUTECTIC SYSTEMS
At each end of the phase diagram only one of the
elements is present (100% A or 100% B) so a
specific melting point does exists. Additionally, there
is sometimes a mixture of the constituent elements
which produces melting at a single temperature like a
pure compound. This is called the eutectic point.

equilibrium at this temperature. In this example, the tie line
shows that the alpha phase is 5.2%B and the liquid phase is
34.5%B at this temperature.

Consider the eutectic alloy of elements A and B as it is
cooled from a temperature at location 1 to location 4 on the
phase diagram.
