Phase Diagrams: Understanding the Basics
Chapter 10: Ternary Phase Diagrams
-
Published:2012
Abstract
This chapter discusses the construction, interpretation, and use of ternary phase diagrams. It begins by examining a hypothetical phase space diagram and several corresponding two-dimensional plots. It then describes one of the most basic tools of metallurgy, the Gibbs triangle, and explains how to construct tie lines to analyze intermediate compositions and phases. It also discusses the use of three-dimensional temperature-composition diagrams, three- and four-phase equilibrium phase diagrams, and binary and ternary phase diagrams associated with the iron-chromium-nickel alloy system.
