There is a variety of ternary phase diagrams. However, the analysis of the crystallization behavior by equilibrium crystallization and fractional crystallization as well as by partial melting can be done with the aid of a few basic principles, which will be considered here. Most helpful in this connection are the crystallization vectors dealt with in this chapter.
