Phase diagram
2. Consider the hypothetical eutectic phase diagram for metals A and B , which is similar to that for the leadtin system, see the following figure as an example. Assume that: (I)\(\alpha \) and \(\beta \) phases exist at the \( A \) and \( B \) extremities of the phase diagram, respectively; (2) the eutectic composition is \(35 w t \%\mathrm{~A}-65\mathrm{wt}\%\mathrm{~B}\); and (3) the composition of the \(\alpha \) phase at the eutectic temperature is \(85 w t \%\) A-15 wt\% B.(20 points)
(a) Determine the composition of an alloy that will yield primary \(\beta \) and \(\beta \) total mass fractions of 0.37 and 0.75, respectively.
(b) Suggest what composition range can provide a precipitation hardening alloy? briefly explain your rationale.
