Question: Sketch the phase diagram for the Mg/Cu system using the following information: Br(Mg) = 648C, Br(Cu) = 1085C; two intermetallic compounds are formed with Br(MgCu2)

Sketch the phase diagram for the Mg/Cu system using the following information: Br(Mg) = 648°C, Br(Cu) = 1085°C; two intermetallic compounds are formed with Br(MgCu2) = 800°C and Br(Mg2Cu) = 580°C; eutectics of mass percentage Mg composition and melting points la per cent (690°C), 33 per cent (560°C), and 65 per cent (380°C). A sample of Mg/Cu alloy containing 25 per cent Mg by mass was prepared in a crucible heated to 800°C in an inert atmosphere. Describe what will be observed if the melt is cooled slowly to room temperature. Specify the composition and relative abundances of the phases and sketch the cooling curve.
