You are asked to design a metal alloy for a part with a room temperature application. The part is to be made by casting the metal into shape. When casting the part, liquid metal is poured into a mold that has a cavity with the shape of the part. To reduce cost by conserving energy and to utilize an inexpensive furnace that does not have a high temperature capability, it is desired that the metal alloy not have a high melting temperature. What type of metal alloy phase diagrams should you consider first for this part?

(a) Continuous solid solution (b) Eutectic (c) Compound formation (d) Peritectic
