Phase Diagrams

Drag the white dot anywhere inside a phase diagram to scan composition (X) and temperature (Y). Watch the microstructure inside the circle evolve as you cool through liquidus, solidus, and the invariant reactions.

Drag the dot vertically to cool / heat at fixed composition, or horizontally to change the alloy. The microstructure on the right updates in real time.
