Tutorial 8

This document contains 9 questions regarding phase diagrams and engineering alloys. The questions ask the reader to analyze phase diagrams for various metal alloy systems (such as silver-palladium, lead-tin, platinum-silver) and determine phase compositions, weight percentages of phases, and equilibrium temperatures at different points on the diagrams. The reader is also asked whether certain hypothetical alloy compositions and phase mixtures are possible based on understanding of phase diagrams.

20 wt% Ni-80 wt% Cu and also an phase of composition 37 wt% Ni-63 wt% Cu? If so, what will be
the approximate temperature of the alloy? If this is not possible, explain why.
