Opis

This book is an extensively revised and expanded version of the second edition published in 1981. The book aims to provide an introduction to the subject of ternary phase diagrams, commencing with fundamental principles followed by discussion of simple systems and proceeding to examples of increasing complexity. An important emphasis is the use of the diagrams to understand phase transformations such as those that occur during the solidification and melting of industrially important materials, including metallic and ceramic materials, and relevant to the control of microstructure. The coverage and approach is aimed at the needs of undergraduate and graduate students and will also serve those who already have a working knowledge of the subject and who wish to extend their expertise.
