190> olubility limit:for many alloy systems and at some specific temperature,the maximum concentration of solute atoms that may dissolve in the solvent to form a solid solution. The addition of solute in excess of this solubility limit results in the formation of another solid solution or compound that has a distinctly different composition. 100 Figure 9.1 The 200 solubility of sugar Solubility limit (CnH22On)in a 80 sugar-water syrup. 60 560 Liquid solution (syrup) Liquld solution + 40 solid 100 sugar 20 50 Sugar 0 20 40 60 80 100 Water 100 80 60 40 20 0 Composition (wt%)SINO-ITALIAN CAMPUS Solubility limit: for many alloy systems and at some specific temperature, the maximum concentration of solute atoms that may dissolve in the solvent to form a solid solution.
