If you go up that dotted line, you see that it starts off as $\alpha, \beta$ structures, forming solely $\beta$ at around 715 celsius, and it started melting at around 870 celsius and finally all melted around 900 celsius.

This chart just scared the socks off of me.

aaronq · Answer

they're different structures (arrangement of atoms in 3D)  the metal takes, not exactly sure what they look like but I'm sure you can look it up

okdutchman7 · Answer

Would that mean that the metal would experience a phase change like changing from solid to liquid?

aaronq · Answer

um im not sure if it's considered a change in phase, it's still solid.

okdutchman7 · Answer

So the atoms just rearrange themselves into different molecular structures?

aaronq · Answer

yeah, there's more to it but i'm not familiar with it so i don't wanna give wrong info. it definitely has to do kinetic energy, minimizing repulsion and whatnot
