Introduction
 Ternary alloy - An alloy formed by
combining three elements or components.
 Ternary phase diagram - A phase diagram
between three components showing the
phases present and their compositions at
various temperatures. This diagram
requires a three-dimensional plot or is
presented as two-dimensional isothermal
sections of a three-dimensional diagram.
