Question

10.11/ A 1.5-kg specimen of a 90 wt% Pb-10 wt% Sn alloy is heated to 250°C (480°F), at which temperature it is entirely an a-phase solid solution . The alloy is to be melted to the extent that 50% of the speci- men is liquid, the remainder being the a phase. This may be accomplished either by heating the alloy or changing its composi- tion while holding the temperature con- stant. (a) To what temperature must the speci- men be heated? (b) How much tin must be added to the 1.5-kg specimen at 250°C to achieve this state?
