The Role of Phase Transformation Kinetics in Phase Diagram Determination and Assessment

Two general categories of methods for the determination of phase diagrams:1-The first category of methods detects the phase boundaries (transuses) by means of thermal, physical, chemical, mechanical, or other property changes during cooling and/or heating of an alloy

2- The other category of methods employs equilibrated alloys or diffusion couplespecimens, and therefore studies the behavior of a system in an equilibrium or local equilibrium state
