2. A phase
• may be defined as a homogeneous portion of a system
that has uniform physical and chemical characteristics
• example,
1. Ice-water
2. the sugar–water syrup solution is one phase, and solid
sugar is another
3. Fe
5. components
• are pure metals and/or compounds of which an alloy is composed. For
example, in a copper–zinc brass, the components are Cu and Zn
system
• may refer to a specific body of material under consideration
• it may relate to the series of possible alloys consisting of the same
components but without regard to alloy composition (e.g., the iron–
carbon system).

Axes
• Composition axis
• Temperature axis
Points
• Melting point of Cu: 1085
• Melting point of Ni: 1453
Lines
• Liquidus line: the line between L and L+α
• Solidus line: the line between L+α and α
Area
• Single phase
• Two phases
12. 1-Types of phases present.
If we know T and Co
A (TA, 35):
1 phase L
B(TB, 35):
2 phases: L + α
D(TD,35)
1 phase L
2-The composition of each phase
If we know T and Co:CL = Co = 35 wt% Ni
At TA = 1320°C:
Only Liquid (L)
At TD = 1190°C:
Only Solid (α)
At TB = 1250°C:
Both a and L
CL = Cliquidus = 32 wt% Ni
Cα = Csolidus = 43 wt% Ni
