Question: ( b ) Given the following information, construct the hypothetical phase diagram on Fig. 3 for metals A and B between room temperature ( 2

(b) Given the following information, construct the hypothetical phase diagram on Fig. 3 for metals A and B between room temperature (20\deg C) and 700\deg C, given the following information and label the axes and the phases present.
The melting temperature of metal A is 550\deg C.
The maximum solubility of B in A is 8 wt% B, which occurs at 420\deg C. r
The solubility of B in A at room temperature is 0 wt% B.
One eutectic occurs at 420\deg C and 18 wt% B-82 wt% A.
A second eutectic occurs at 475\deg C and 60 wt% B-40 wt% A.
The intermetallic compound AB exists at a composition of 30 wt% B-70 wt% A, and melts directly to liquid at 525\deg C.
The melting temperature of metal B is 600\deg C.
The maximum solubility of A in B is 13 wt% A, which occurs at 475\deg C.
The solubility of A in B at room temperature is 3 wt% A.
