Binary Eutectic Iron Alloys
An eutectic mixture is a specific composition of a binary or multi-component alloy system that has the lowest possible melting point. At this composition, the liquid phase transforms directly into a mixture of solid phases at a single temperature, rather than over a range of temperatures.
The table below presents binary eutectic alloys of iron (Fe) with their compositions and melting points:
Alloy Component | Weight of Alloy Component (%)(%) | Melting Point(K) | Melting Point(°F) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gd - Gadolinium | 86 | 1123 | 1562 |
| Mo - Molybdenum | 31 | 1725 | 2646 |
| Nb - Niobium (Columbium) | 18.5 | 1643 | 2498 |
| Sb - Antimony (Stibium) | 94.1 | 1021 | 1378 |
| Si - Silicon | 21 | 1475 | 2196 |
| Sn - Tin (Stannum) | 49 | 1400 | 2061 |
| Y - Yttrium | 75 | 1173 | 1652 |
| Zr - Zirconium | 17 | 1600 | 2421 |
