type binary
basis weight
component A "Cu" melting 1085
component B "Pb" melting 327
// Two invariant reactions, and the figure needs both: a monotectic at
// 36 wt% Pb and 955 C, where one liquid splits into a copper-rich solid
// and a second, lead-rich liquid, and a eutectic at 99.94 wt% Pb and
// 326 C, one twentieth of a degree below lead's own melting point.
