| 1. | Partial melting occurs where the solidus and liquidus temperatures are different.
|
| 2. | The wetting time ideally stays below 60 seconds above liquidus.
|
| 3. | For this distinction, the solidus may be contrasted to the liquidus.
|
| 4. | The liquidus temperature can be contrasted to the solidus temperature.
|
| 5. | The liquidus is the temperature above which the substance is stable in a liquid state.
|
| 6. | The time in this area is known as " Time Above Liquidus ".
|
| 7. | It can be seen that there are two lines, representing the solidus and liquidus.
|
| 8. | Additional time above liquidus may cause excessive intermetallic growth, which can lead to joint brittleness.
|
| 9. | SSM is done at a temperature that puts the metal between its liquidus and solidus temperature.
|
| 10. | Phosphorus depresses the liquidus temperature, allowing the iron to remain molten for longer and increases fluidity.
