Question: ( a ) A copper - silver alloy of composition 8 5 w t % A g - 1 5 w t % C u

(a) A copper-silver alloy of composition 85wt%Ag-15wt%Cu is slowly heated from a temperature of 700C(1300F). Using Figure 1 answer the following:
(i) At what temperature does the first liquid phase form?
(ii) What is the composition of this liquid phase?
(iii) At what temperature does complete melting of the alloy occur?
(iv) What is the composition of the last solid remaining prior to complete melting?
(v) Again using Figure 1 draw the cooling curve and microstructures at various temperatures during solidification of a 95wt%Ag-5wt%Cu alloy.
(b) How does cored structure produce during non equilibrium cooling?
 (a) A copper-silver alloy of composition 85wt%Ag-15wt%Cu is slowly heated from
