QUESTIONS
A: SOLIDE SOLUTIONS AND PHASE EQUILIBRIUM
1. What is a phase diagram?
2. You need to produce a Cu-Ni alloy having a minimum yield strength of 20,000 psi, a minimum
tensile strength of 60,000 psi, and a minimum % elongation of 20%. You have in your
inventory a Cu-20% Ni alloy and pure nickel. Design a method for producing castings having
the required properties.
