Liquidus temperature

The liquidus temperature characterizes the temperature of an alloy or a glass , below which the mixture of a homogeneous liquid phase begins to solidify. The temperature that is reached with homogeneous solidification, however, is called the solidus temperature .

In the case of alloys, the mixture between the solidus and liquidus temperature is pulpy, solid and liquid phases coexist.

The temperature interval between solidus and liquidus temperature is called the melting interval .

With pure metals and eutectic alloys, the liquidus and solidus temperatures coincide. B. ISO BSn63Pb 178 (L-Sn63PbAg) at 178 ° C. Here the transition from solid to liquid takes place suddenly and is known as the eutectic point .
