PHASE DIAGRAMS
Tell us about phases as function of T, Co, P.
For this course:
--binary systems: just 2 components.
--independent variables: T and Co (P = 1atm is always
used).

APPLICATION: REFRACTORIES
Need a material to use in high temperature furnaces.
Consider Silica (SiO2) - Alumina (Al2O3) system.
Phase diagram shows:
mullite, alumina, and crystobalite (made up of SiO2)
tetrahedra as candidate refractories.
