Isomorphous Binary Phase Diagram


Isomorphous Binary Phase Diagram Example
α is the solid phase, can also be represented by S
L is the liquid phase
α + L is a phase region which is a mixture of solid and liquid
A and B are separate components of the system

Isomorphous binary phase diagrams are found in a number of metallic and ceramic systems. In the isomorphous systems, only one solid phase forms; the two components in the system display complete solid solubility.

Typically, the isomorphous system has a liquid area, a solid area, and an area that is a mixture of both liquid and solid. Typically, a binary isomorphous phase diagram consists of two phase boundaries: the liquidus and the solidus.
