"Solvus" can refer to a couple of different things, depending on the context: 1. **Materials Science**: In the context of materials science and metallurgy, a solvus is a phase diagram line that represents the solubility of one phase in another. Specifically, it indicates the limit of solubility of a solid solution at different temperatures. The solvus line separates different phases in a phase diagram, and it is crucial for understanding the behavior of alloys and other materials.

A boundary giving the equilibrium limit of one solid solution against coexistence with another solid phase. Moving along a solvus during cooling changes equilibrium solid compositions even after all liquid has disappeared.
