ASSIGNMENT 1
1- Below are given the solidus and liquidus temperatures for the germanium – silicon system.
Construct the phase diagram for that system and label each region.

5-A 40 wt% Pb–60 wt% Mg alloy is heated to a temperature within the liquid-phase
region. If the mass fraction of each phase is 0.5, then estimate:
(a) The temperature of the alloy.
(b) The compositions of the two phases.
6-A magnesium–lead alloy of mass 7.5 kg consists of a solid α phase that has a composition
just slightly below the solubility limit at 300◦ C
(a) What mass of lead is in the alloy?
(b) If the alloy is heated to 400◦ C, how much more lead may be dissolved in the phase
without exceeding the solubility limit of this phase?
7-Cite the phases that are present and the phase compositions for the following alloys:
(a) 25 wt% Pb–75 wt% Mg at 425◦ C
(d) 50% Ni and 50 Cu at 1200 C
8-For 5.7 kg of a magnesium–lead alloy of com- position 50 wt% Pb–50 wt% Mg, is it
possible, at equilibrium, to have α and Mg2 Pb phases with respective masses of
5.13 and 0.57 kg? If so, what will be the approximate temperature of the alloy? If
such an alloy is not possible, then explain why.
