The isomorphous phase diagram is a best example for solid solution strengthened system exhibiting unlimited solubility in solid state. The Lever rule can be applied to estimate the fraction of liquid and solid phases present in the system and the composition of these phases at various temperatures.
The eutectic phase diagram is an example for the existence of all three phases at the eutectic point. The development of eutectic alloys for low melt applications such as welding electrodes and brazing materials are significant for mechanical engineers.
