(a) There are two eutectic reactions on the diagram; describe them (temperatures, compositions and phases). (b) Spinel, at temperatures below 1000 °C, is a compound with a composition of 50 mol% Al2O3-50 mol% MgO. For higher temperatures, spinel is stable for a range of compositions. What is the temperature of the congruent fusion? (c) What are the main reasons for the low solubility of Al2O3 in MgO below 1400 °C?
