Incongruent melting
The compositions of AC and AB
do not intersect their primary
phase fields. These compounds
melt incongruently. Peritectics
appear in the diagram.
NOTE: The three edges of a
ternary diagram are three binary
c systems - we can find binary
P phase diagrams for these, for
example. An alkemade lines
that cuts across the diagram,
E however, is only a true binary
system if the alkemade line
P intersects the boundary line. So,
E E P for example, the alkemade line
a b C-AB cannot be drawn as a
binary phase diagram. In these
E P cases, we can not draw arrows
on the alkemade line. On actual
phase diagrams, arrows are
always drawn on the boundary
lines, but not always on the
alkemade lines.

L + G = K3G7 + R
Note: If we started with a melt with the peritectic composition P, then on cooling
through the peritectic temperature it would form K3G7 and R, and there would be some
liquid left. The liquid composition would follow the boundary line to E, where final
solidification takes place. P is in the R - K3G7-K compatibility triangle.

2.Features of ceramic phase diagrams – single phase - line compounds and solid solution regions;
two phase regions; solid solutions and solubility; liquidus and solidus; eutectic and peritectic
points and reactions; melting behavior (congruent vs. incongruent); polymorphic phase
transformation
3.Solid solutions – substitutional and interstitial, factors that affect the extent of solid solution
4.Isophethal analysis - use of tie line (compositions of phases) and lever rule (relative amounts of
phases), microstructure prediction
5.Applications of binary phase diagrams – solubility, melting behavior, determination of phases
present (compositions, relative amounts) at different temperatures and overall composition,
temperature at which a liquid will first form when a mixture is heated
C. Ternary Systems
