Topology of subsolidus sections of phase diagrams of quaternary reciprocal systems without solid solutions

Abstract

A problem of constructing subsolidus isobaric–isothermal sections of phase diagrams of quaternary reciprocal systems with constant-composition compounds and limited solid solutions was considered. Relations between the topological characteristics of such sections were derived. Their topological classification was proposed. An algorithm for constructing sections using the theory of finite graphs was developed. A problem of enumerating sections for diagrams with a given set of classification characteristics was solved.
