In the Al-Cu phase diagram, determine what phases are present in the binary areas (white area). Determine all the phase transformations happened in the following phase diagram. For a 20 wt% Cu alloy at 500 oC, determine: The phases present The phase compositions The fraction of each phase Draw microstructure of this alloy at 700 oC, 560 oC and 300 oC. We are interested to design an alloy with heat treatable characteristics. Please suggest a composition range and explain why?...

Question 33. Heat treatments are often performed on metal alloys in order to control their properties. (a) Briefly describe how heat treatments can affect the strength and ductility of metals. (2 Marks) (b) Wrought aluminium alloys often contain alloy constituents to improve various properties. 6xxx series aluminium alloys contain Magnesium and Silicon, which if present in appropriate concentrations, can form a hard intermetallic phase Mg2Si in the microstructure. Describe a suitable precipitation hardening heat treatment process for containing 0.5% Mg2Si...
2. [25 points] The following figure shows the phase diagram of Cu-Ag alloy syst em. A mixture of Ag and Cu with a eutectic composition (or concentration) is heated to a high temperature and keep for enough time to prepare the material into a uniform liquid state. The material is then cooled down to 800°C. Cu-Ag System 1200p Liquid 1000 800 A B. 600 400 200 100 80 60 40 20 wt% Ag (o) What is the Ag composition in...

please answer question 2,3,4 A critical feature of steel is that a considerable amount of carbon can be dissolved in the austenite, phase, (up to 2.14 w/o at 1147"C), whereas carbon is essentially insoluble in ferrite, Cooling from point d to e, just above the eutectoid but still in the an increased fraction of the +y region, will produce phase and a microstructure similar to that shown: the particles precinitates out in the form af an intermetallic.compound called iron-carbide...
Q-1. You are testing a circular beam of two metals, 1045 steel and 2014-T6 aluminum, in a rotating-cantilever beam fatigue test. If you need to choose one of these metals so that you can essentially design a part made of that metal, and subject the part to a repetitive stress-amplitude without ever failing due to fatigue, which one would you choose. (See the attached figure) Q-2. What is the fatigue strength for the 1045 steel alloy, if you expect to...
