Question: Bismuth ( melting point 5 2 0 F ) and cadmium ( melting point 6 1 0 F ) are assumed to be completely soluble

Bismuth (melting point 520F) and cadmium (melting point 610F) are assumed to be completely soluble in the liquid state and completely insoluble in the solid state. They form a eutectic at 290F containing 40 percent cadmium.
(a) Draw the equilibrium diagram to scale on a piece of graph paper and label it completely.
(b) For an alloy containing 70 percent cadmium (i) give the temperature of initial solidification; (ii) give the temperature of final solidification; (iii) give the chemical composition and relative amounts of the phases present at a temperature of 100F below (i); (iv) sketch the microstructure at room temperature; (v) draw the cooling curve of the alloy.
 Bismuth (melting point 520F) and cadmium (melting point 610F) are assumed
