Answer to Question #262064 in Civil and Environmental Engineering for Ndeshy

Question

1.Use the Cu-Ag phase diagram.

(a) What is the maximum solubility of Cu in Ag, and at what temperature do you get the maximum solubility?

(b)What is the maximum solubility of Ag in Cu, and at what temperature do you get the maximum solubility?

(c)(i)What transformation is taking place at point E

(ii)At what temperature and composition does the transformation at point E take place?

(iii)What is the significance of the transformation at point E?

(iv) Sketch, label and describr the microstructure formed at point E.

(d) For theCu-Ag alloy, determine

(i)phase composition at 1100°C

(ii)phase composition at 900°C

(iii)phase composition at 600°C

Note: point E is an eutectic point.
