What is the name of the upper temperature a solid state solution can form?

The solvus is the lower one but I can't remeber the name of the upper one where the material begins to melt all I can remeber is that it begins whith s.

What is the name of the upper temperature a solid state solution can form?
Solidus
Reply:"Upper temperature limit" where it begins to behave like an ordinary liquid. Or you might be looking for "glass transition temperature."

Reply:The answer is Solidus line. a phase diagram consists of two line. The "liquidus line" separates the *all liquid* phase from the *liquid+crystal* phase. The solidus line separates the *liquid+crystal* phase from the *all crystal* phase.


The solidus and liquidus lines are experimental, they have been determined by melting and cooling many melts at different percents anorthite.
Reply:You may be referring to the crystallization point.
Reply:Maybe you should work on your grammar before seeking answers to chemistry...lol
Reply:Solvus by definition is the locus of points in a phase diagram representing the temperature under equilibrium conditions at which each component of a solid phase becomes capable of coexistence with another.





So, I don't think there is any upper point.
Reply:on a phase diagram I think it's called the solidus
Reply:Melting point?
