Talk:Liquidus

Requested move

Liquidus temperature → Liquidus — The current title is unusual (and a Google search backs that up), because it is not just one temperature (like 70K) but rather a temperature curve representing a phase boundary. See also solidus (chemistry). — Srnec (talk) 03:40, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Any additional comments:

I moved it to Liquidus (chemistry) for consistency with Solidus (chemistry). Ruslik (talk) 09:44, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

It's better than the old name, but solidus is ambiguous whereas liquidus is not. Is it really best to have an unecessary parenthesis in the title? Srnec (talk) 01:44, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Move it yourself if you think this is necessary. I do not object. Ruslik (talk) 11:50, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

I cannot move it myself, I am not an administrator. I do think it is necessary: I think the parenthesis implies that there is some other kind of liquidus, but there is not. It could be misinformative. Srnec (talk) 04:56, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

convection currents can "straddle the solidus" ?

Inexpertly, convection currents (e.g. earth's Mantle) involve hot rising, and cold sinking, currents. Since the two currents are at different temperatures, at the same pressure/depth, the hotter rising current could be a liquid or partial melt, even as the colder sinking current could be a partial melt or fully frozen. 66.235.38.214 (talk) 21:00, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Merge proposal

The liquidus/solidus temperatures are closely related, and it's hard to explain either without invoking the other. Despite being around for many years, both articles are very short. They are probably best covered in a single article, like Electrical resistance and conductance, Series and parallel circuits, Active and passive transformation, etc. 〈 Forbes₇₂ | Talk 〉 23:36, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
