Interpretation of phase diagram
Three things that can be obtained from phase diagram
1. Phases present
2. The composition of the phases
3. The percentages or fractions of the phases
Finding the composition in a two phase region:
i. Locate composition and temperature in diagram
ii. In two phase region draw the tie line or isotherm
iii. Note intersection with phase boundaries. Read compositions at
the intersections.
iv. The liquid and solid phases have these compositions.
Phase compositions and phase weight fraction at given T and C
