Thermal analysis curves for typical binary alloys:
<ol><li>solid body (no phase transition);</li>
<li>pure component or eutectic, fusion temperature T<sub>f</sub>;</li>
<li>alloy with total miscibility, liquidus and solidus temperatures T<sub>l</sub> and T<sub>s</sub>;</li>
<li>alloy with partial miscibility (solid solution + eutectic), liquidus and eutectic fusion temperatures T<sub>l</sub> and T<sub>E</sub>.</li></ol>
