a) Construct the hypothetical eutectic phase diagram for metals A and B, which is similar to that for the lead-tin (Pb-Sn) system (Figure given above). Assume that
(1) and phases exist at the A and B extremities of the phase diagram, respectively
(2) the melting temperature of metal A is 1200C
(3)) the melting temperature of metal B is 900C
(4) the eutectic composition is 40wt%A-60wt%B
(5) the eutectic occurs at 675C
(6) the maximum solubility of B in A is 15wt%, which occurs at eutectic temperature (675C)
(7) the solubility of B in A is 3wt%, which occurs at room temperature (20C).
(8) the maximum solubility of A in B is 18wt%, which occurs at eutectic temperature (675C)
(9) the solubility of A in B is 4wt%, which occurs at room temperature (20C).
b) Determine the compositions of the phases and mass fractions of the phases for an alloy of composition 90wt%A-10wt%B at 850C.
c) Determine the mass fractions of the phases for an alloy of composition 40wt%A-60wt%B at 675C and room temperature (20C).
d) Determine the mass fractions of the phases for an alloy of composition 30wt%A-70wt%B at room temperature (20C).
