Ceramic Eutectic Diagram

The corresponding eutectic temperature t e and eutectic composition c e are reported in the phase diagram figure b2 01.

Ceramic eutectic diagram.

These are among the most common. The composition of that eutectic is 23 25 calcium oxide cao 14 75 alumina al2o3 and 62 silica sio2. Phase diagrams in advanced ceramics reviews some of the recent advances inthe understanding of these composite systems providing insight into how phase diagrams can be utilized in the fabrication of whiskers and ceramic matrix whisker reinforced ceramics. Phase relations and sintering information is reviewed for transparent polycrystalline oxides.

The dse composite thus obtained through unidirectional solidification is the al 2 o 3 gdalo 3 binary eutectic ceramic composite. There is the classic calcia alumina silica eutectic at about cone 4. It melts at only 2138 f 1170 c. 1 0 na 2 o.

A eutectic system is a homogeneous mixture of substances that melts or solidifies at a temperature lower than the melting point of the constituent elements. Figure b2 01 phase diagram of the al 2 o 3 gd 2 o 3 system at high temperatures 24. This eutectic is shown on a ternary phase diagram with three axes instead of two. A mixture of a specific percentage ratio of substances that melts at a single temperature that is lower than the melting points of the separate constituents or of any other mixture of them.

The contour lines show temperature the lowest being at the eutectic point. All of the important ceramic flux oxides form one or more eutectic.
