Assignment # 3

Materials Engineering
IV Semester (B. Tech. Mechanical Engineering)

1. What is the composition, in atom percent, of an alloy that consists of 92.5 wt%
Ag and 7.5 wt% Cu?
2. What is the composition, in weight percent, of an alloy that consists of 5 at%
Cu and 95 at% Pt?
3. Calculate the composition, in weight percent, of an alloy that contains 105 kg
of iron, 0.2 kg of carbon, and 1.0 kg of chromium.
4. What is the composition, in atom percent, of an alloy that consists of 5.5 wt%
Pb and 94.5 wt% Sn?
5. Calculate the number of atoms per cubic meter in lead.
6. Consider the sugar–water phase diagram of Figure 9.1, (Callister 7th ed.)
(a) How much sugar will dissolve in 1000 g of water at 80°C?
(b) If the saturated liquid solution in part (a) is cooled to 20°C, some of the
sugar will precipitate out as a solid. What will be the composition of
the saturated liquid solution (in wt% sugar) at 20°C?
(c) How much of the solid sugar will come out of solution upon cooling to
20°C?
7. Given here are the solidus and liquidus temperatures for the copper–gold
system. Construct the phase diagram for this system and label each region.
Composition Solidus Liquidus
(wt% Au) Temperature (°C) Temperature (°C)
0 1085 1085
20 1019 1042
40 972 996
60 934 946
80 911 911
90 928 942
95 974 984
100 1064 1064

8. A hypothetical A–B alloy of composition 40 wt% B–60 wt% A at some


temperature is found to consist of mass fractions of 0.66 and 0.34 for the α and
β phases, respectively. If the composition of the α phase is 13 wt% B–87 wt%
A, what is the composition of the β phase?
9. What is the difference between a phase and a micro-constituent?
10. The mass fraction of eutectoid ferrite in an iron–carbon alloy is 0.71. On the
basis of this information, is it possible to determine the composition of the
alloy? If so, what is its composition? If this is not possible, explain why.
11. The mass fractions of total ferrite and total cementite in an iron–carbon alloy
are 0.91 and 0.09, respectively. Is this a hypoeutectoid or hypereutectoid
alloy? Why?
12. The microstructure of an iron–carbon alloy consists of proeutectoid cementite
and pearlite; the mass fractions of these micro constituents are 0.11 and 0.89,
respectively. Determine the concentration of carbon in this alloy.
