Phase Diagrams, which indicate the phases present at a given temperature and composition, have often proved a difficult concept to understand. These Web pages provide a simple guide to phase diagrams that can supplement the explanations that you receive from lectures and books.
If you are new to phase diagrams, you should follow these links in order, working through each section before returning to this page. Note that some sections have a self-assessment quiz.
Note: glossary links may not work - see the help page for information on how to fix this!
