Question

For a copper-silver alloy of composition 25 wt% Ag-75 wt% Cu and at 775°C (1425°F) do the following:

(a) Determine the mass fractions ofαand β phases.
(b) Determine the mass fractions of primaryαand eutectic microconstituents.
(c) Determine the mass fraction of eutecticα.

Answer 1

(a) The mass fractions of α and β phases

⇒
`W_(\alpha) = 0.80` and
`W_(\beta ) = 0.20`

(b) The mass fractions of primary α and eutectic micro constituents.

primary α = 0.73 and eutectic micro constituents = 0.27

(c) The mass fraction of eutectic α. = 0.07
