If 500 g of a 40 wt% Ag–60 wt% Cu alloy is slowly cooled from 1000°C to just below 780°C (see Fig. P8.23):
- a. How many grams of liquid and proeutectic alpha are present at 850°C?
- b. How many grams of liquid and proeutectic alpha are present at 780°C + ΔT?
- c. How many grams of alpha are present in the eutectic structure at 780°C − ΔT?
- d. How many grams of beta are present in the eutectic structure at 780°C − ΔT?
(a)
Refer Fig P8.23, if
