Consider the hypothetical eutectic phase diagram for metals A and B, which is similar to that for the lead-tin system, (shown in the figure below.) Assume that (1) a and ß phases exist at the A and B extremities of the phase diagram, respectively; (2) the eutectic composition is 36 wt% A-64 wt% B; and (3) the composition of the a phase at the eutectic temperature is 88 wt% A-12 wt% B. Determine the composition of an alloy that will yield primary ß and total ß mass fractions of 0.357 and 0.764, respectively.

Consider the hypothetical eutectic phase diagram for metals A and B, which is similar to that for the lead-tin system,
(shown in the figure below.) Assume that (1) a and B phases exist at the A and B extremities of the phase diagram,
respectively; (2) the eutectic composition is 36 wt% A-64 wt% B; and (3) the composition of the a phase at the eutectic
temperature is 88 wt% A-12 wt% B. Determine the composition of an alloy that will yield primary ßand total ß mass
fractions of 0.357 and 0.764, respectively.
