Case 2: Binary Eutectic Systems
Points to note:
(1) 3 single phase fields: a, b, liquid – separated by 3
two-phase field: a+L, b+L, a+b
(2) a phase: solid solution rich in A (with some B):
maximum solubility of B
in a: CaE at TE L
(3) b phase: solid solution a+L E b+L
rich in B (with some A): a T
maximum solubility of A

(4) At point E, with fixed
temp and composition, CE
Eutectic Reaction:
1) Occurs in alloy with L
composition CE at a constant a+L b+L
