Can somebody please explain how to read a binary phase diagram.

A binary phase diagram is a graphical representation of the relationships between different phases of a two-component system at different temperatures and compositions.
Binary phase diagrams are important because they provide valuable information about the physical and chemical properties of a system, such as the melting point, boiling point, and phase transitions.
To interpret a binary phase diagram, you need to understand the different regions and lines on the graph, which represent the different phases and phase boundaries of the system. The composition of the system can be determined by looking at the intersection of the phase boundaries with the temperature axis.
Binary phase diagrams only show the behavior of two-component systems at a fixed pressure. They do not account for changes in pressure or the presence of impurities, which can affect the phase behavior of a system.
Binary phase diagrams are used in various industries, such as metallurgy, materials science, and chemistry, to understand and control the properties of materials. They are also used in the design and development of alloys and other materials with specific properties.
