Question

Elemaent A and B melts at 700°C and 1000°C respectively. They form an eutectic at 35% A at a temperature 500°C. draw and explain the typical phase diagram between A and B​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The point, E, where the liquidus curves and solidus intersect, is termed the eutectic point. At the eutectic point in this two component system, all three phases, that is Liquid, crystals of A and crystals of B, all exist in equilibrium. Note that the eutectic is the only point on the diagram where this is true
