Question

A Cu-Ni alloy must be fully liquid at 1350°C for processing. However,
when placed in service the alloy must be solid at 1200°C. The phase
diagram for the Cu-Ni binary system given below in Figure 3b.
(i) Determine the composition range in which the alloy must lie.
(ii) To obtain the maximum yield strength what composition should
be used?
(iii) If, however, the highest elongation is required then what
composition should be used?
