• Solubility Limit
• Phase
▫ Homogenous portion of a system that has uniform physical and
chemical characteristics
• Equilibrium
▫ Free energy is minimum under specified
temperature, pressure and composition
• Isomorphous
• Interpretation of Phase Diagram
▫ Phases present
Single phase → composition of alloy is composition of
phase
