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?

10.15) A magnesium-lead alloy of mass 5.5 ka consists of a solid a phase that has a compo- sition that is just slightly below the solubility limit at 200°C (390°F). (a) What mass of lead is in the alloy? (b) If the alloy is heated to 350°C (660°F). how much more lead may be dissolved in the a phase without exceeding the solubility limit of this phase?
10.27 A hypothetical A-B alloy of composition 55 wt% B-45 wt% A at some temperature is found to consist of mass fractions of 0.5 for both a and 8 phases. If the composition of the B phase is 90 wt B-10 wt% A, what is the composition of the a phase?
