Cooling curves are obtained by plotting the measured temperatures at equal intervals during the cooling period of a melt to a solid.

Constitution of Alloys

If an alloying element is added in excess of the limit of solid solubility, a second phase appears along with the primary solid solution.

Constitution of Alloys
