A 1.5-kg specimen of a 88 wt% Pb-12 wt% Sn alloy (Animated Figure 9.8) is heated to 220°C; at this temperature it is entirely an a- phase solid solution. The alloy is to be melted to the extent that 50% of the specimen is liquid, the remainder being the a phase. This may be accomplished either by heating the alloy or changing its composition while holding the temperature constant.
