Diagram showing the melting ranges for Pt-Cu and Pt-Ru alloys containing up to 10 wt.% of solute metal.
The solidification ranges for the alloys lie between the two sets of lines. There is a narrower range of solidification for Pt-Ru, compared to Pt-Cu. The range for Pt-Ru is at higher temperatures than the solidification range for Pt-Cu
