Binary alloy phase diagrams requiring further studies

  • Published:
Journal of Phase Equilibria

Abstract

Binary Alloy Phase Diagrams , 2nd ed. 90Mas, covering ∼3000 systems and ∼2200 phase diagrams, is the most current compilation of binary systems. However, ∼500 of them include thermodynamically unlikely features. These problems are classified into more than 30 groups, and a few typical examples are shown for each group. If a phase diagram shows an improbable feature, it implies that either the phase diagram is erroneous or a very unique phase diagram situation is occurring in the system. In either case, it is worthwhile to investigate the system in more detail.
