Alloy Phase Diagrams

Alloy phase diagrams are visual tools that show how different combinations of metals mix and change at various temperatures and compositions. They reveal the types of phases—like solid solutions, compounds, or mixtures—that form when metals are combined and cooled or heated. These diagrams help scientists and engineers predict material properties, like strength or ductility, by understanding which phases will exist under specific conditions. Essentially, they guide the design and processing of metal alloys for desired performance by illustrating how metals interact at different temperatures and proportions.
