BINARY EUTECTIC SYSTEMS


Another type of common and relatively simple phase diagram found for binary alloys is shown in Figure for the copper silver system; this is known as a binary eutectic phase diagram. A number of features of this phase diagram are important and worth noting. First, three single-phase regions are found on the diagram: and liquid. The  α phase is a solid solution rich in copper; it has silver as the solute component and an FCC crystal structure.
