Question

Cite the phases that are present and the phase compositions for the following alloys: (a) 15 wt% Sn - 85 wt% Pb at 100 o C. (b) 1.25 kg of Sn and 14 kg Pb at 200 o C

Answer 1

Answer:

a)  ∝  and β

   The phase compositions are :

    C$_{\alpha }$ = 5wt% Sn - 95 wt% Pb

    C$_{\beta }$ =  98 wt% Sn - 2wt% Pb

b)

The phase is; ∝  

The phase compositions is;   82 wt% Sn - 91.8 wt% Pb

Explanation:

a) 15 wt% Sn - 85 wt% Pb at 100⁰C.

The phases are ; ∝  and β

The phase compositions are :

C$_{\alpha }$ = 5wt% Sn - 95 wt% Pb

C$_{\beta }$ =  98 wt% Sn - 2wt% Pb

b) 1.25 kg of Sn and 14 kg Pb at 200⁰C

The phase is ; ∝  

The phase compositions is;  82 wt% Sn - 91.8 wt% Pb

Csn = 1.25 * 100 / 1.25 + 14 = 8.2 wt%

Cpb = 14 * 100 / 1.25 + 14 = 91.8 wt%
