It's commonplace with any solution - table salt melts/solidifies at 801°C. Water/ice at 0°C. But brine (depending on concentration) may not freeze until -19°C, lower than either! |
Ah, yes, but while there is a similarity between alloys and solutions, metallurgy and solution physics are not the same.
