Talk:Liquidus (chemistry)

I have a few questions regarding the relationships of crytals to the soildus and liquidus. How do crystals react at or near the liquidus? How do they react at or near the solidus? Or how about in between the liquidus and the solidus? Are they at equilibrium at the liquidus?
 * When temperature increases over liquidus, crystals melt.
 * When temperature decreases below solidus, all system freezes.
 * Between solidus and liquidus, there is equilibrium between crystals and liquid.

 * I've just noticed that the solidus article is of a almost identical length and and has marked as a stub. Should this article not, then, be similarly marked? Stefano Magliocco 00:25, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

merge

 * merge. These two articles regard the same topic. Liquidus is a temperature, so appending temperature to the end is extranous. It's like having an article for Joe Schmo and Joe Schmo (person). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pdbailey (talk • contribs) 17:29, 14 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, the articles liquidus and liquidus temperature should be merged. It is best to call it liquidus temperature because it is commonly used and defined in this way in physical sciences. Liquidus has simply the meaning of liquid in the Latin language - comment added by user AFluegel —Preceding unsigned comment added by Afluegel (talk • contribs) 10:35, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
