Questions and Answers

What is indicated by the liquidus line in a phase diagram?

  • The temperature range where liquid and solid phases coexist. (correct)
  • The temperature at which an alloy begins melting.
  • The temperature range for complete solidification.
  • The temperature range where only liquid phases exist.

    • What happens during solidification according to the cooling curve of an alloy?

  • Solidification occurs over a range of temperatures. (correct)
  • Liquid phases turn completely into solids before reaching the liquidus line.
  • Solidification occurs instantaneously at a single melting point.
  • Temperature remains constant until all solidification is complete.

    • Which statement correctly describes partial solid solubility in alloy systems?

  • There are distinct solid phases with limited solubility of each component. (correct)
  • Solid phases cannot coexist with liquid phases in these alloys.
  • Partial solid solubility results only from identical atomic structures.
  • Components are fully soluble in the solid phase regardless of composition.
