Introduction
We are going to learn about phase diagram, which is one of the most important tools
for materials scientist, in order to understand the composition-temperature-phase
relationship with varying or fixed pressure.
• Phase: A region in a material that differs in structure from other regions.
• Phase diagrams:
 Represents phases present in metal at different conditions
(Temperature, pressure and composition).
 Indicates equilibrium solid solubility of one element in another.
 Indicates temperature range under which solidification occurs.
 Indicates temperature at which different phases start to melt.

Intermediate Phases and Compounds:

• Terminal phases: Phases occur at each end of phase diagrams.

• Intermediate phases: Phases occur in a composition range inside phase
diagram.

Intermetallic Compounds:

• Example:- Mg-Ni phase diagram contains

 Mg2Ni : Congruently melting compound
 MgNi2 : Incongruently melting compound.
