Binary Diagrams

• Binary diagrams have two components

• We therefore usually choose to plot both T (temperature) and X (composition) with pressure held constant

• P-X (T fixed) or P-T (X fixed) are also possible

Phase Rule for Binary Systems

f = c - p + 2 = 2 - p + 2 = 4 - p

• If two phases are present, there are two degrees of freedom (both T and X)

• If three phases are present, there is one degree of freedom (either T or X)

Binary Eutectic Diagram Conventions

• Two immiscible components: such as CaAl2Si2O8 (calcic plagioclase) and FeMgSiO4 (olivine) plotted along the horizontal axis, OR olivine (isolated tetrahedra) and pyroxene (single chain tetrahedra), which are immiscible because they have different crystal structures

• One variable, temperature, plotted along the vertical axis. • Pressure is held constant at 1 atmosphere.• Three phases, crystal A, crystal B, and melt.• Complete miscibility of the melt (magma)

Binary Eutectic Diagram Assumptions

• The system remains in equilibrium throughout its history, so that all reactions can take place and everything can come to stability

• Everything in the original melt remains in communication throughout the crystallization process

Congruent Melting

• The previous case is an example of congruent melting

• Congruent melting means melting of a substance directly to a liquid that is of the same composition as the solid

Page 16: 1 Binary Phase Diagrams GLY 4200 Fall, 2012. 2 Binary Diagrams Binary diagrams have two components We therefore usually choose to plot both T (temperature)

16

Incongruent Melting

• Melting accompanied by decomposition or by reaction with the liquid, so that one solid phase is converted into another

• Melting to give a liquid different in composition from the original solid

• One example occurs in the forsterite-quartz system

Effects of Pressure

• With increased pressure, from 1 atm to 7 kbar, En changes from incongruent to congruent melting behavior

• The field of liquid immiscibility, the 2L field on the 1 atm diagram, disappears at slightly elevated pressures and is no longer evident in the 3 kbar diagram.
