Homework Statement Germanium forms a substitutional solid solution with silicon. Compute the weight percent of germanium that must be added to silicon to yield an alloy that contains 2.43e21 Ge atoms per cubic centimeter. The densities of pure Ge and Si are 5.32 and 2.33 g/cm3 respectively...

OK, 4047 Aluminum is used for housing covers which are hermetically sealed using a laser welding process. Can anyone give me a reason why this specific alloy is used? Some spec on the alloy: http://www.jlanthonyandcompany.com/product/4047_aluminum.html I would figure if you had a housing...

Homework Statement The purpose of the lab is to determine the % comp of an alloy from the volume of hydrogen that is produced in the reaction. We did a lab, in which an alloy was reacted with hydrochloric acid, in a test tube with a stopper and tube leading to a 500ml sidearm flask, with a...

Hey guys I need a little help trying to identify or getting a good conclusion of what kind of aluminum I have here. These aluminum was grind and finally polished with aluminum oxide of 3 microns. After the etching of the alloy with Keller's Reagent for a couple of seconds we took the...

Hey guys, I'm working on a project and am looking for some fatigue data for aluminum alloys, A356-T6 in particular. I've looked through the MIL-5 and Aerospace (Cindas) handbooks and haven't found any decent information. The textbook I have "Mechanical Engineering Design" by Shigley and...

Homework Statement A hanging wire made of an alloy of titanium with diameter 0.15 cm is initially 2.8 m long. When a 109 kg mass is hung from it, the wire stretches an amount 1.41 cm. A mole of titanium has a mass of 48 grams, and its density is 4.54 g/cm^3. Based on these experimental...

Homework Statement The densities (at 25*C) of tin and lead are 7.3 g/cm3 and 11.3 g/cm3 respectively. Plumber's solder is an alloy of tin and lead and has a density of 9.7 g/cm3. Estimate the composition by mass, of the two metals in this solder. Homework Equations The Attempt...

I am going to heat treat Al alloy ribbons of low thickness (about 0.01 to 0.025 in). Could you please suggest me the time needed for solutionising as well as aging treatment if my heat treatment cycle for thick sample is as follows? Solutionization – 540C for 16 hrs Quench – Room temperature...

Recently, we purchased a relatively brand new high performance car engine to swap with our regular car engine for the purpose of gaining more horsepower. I need to find out the probability of corrosion of an aluminum alloy (possibly 319.0) part of a complete engine block brought to the shop...

First, here is the question: The percentage of two elements making up an alloy can be estimated from the following equations, which assume a simple mixing of the two components: Palloy=F1P1+F2P2 F1+F2=1 Here, F1 is the fraction of the alloy composed of element 1, and F2 is the fraction...

A simple question, if one has an alloy, are there effective ways to separate the different components and end up with the originale materials?

During the heat treatment of Aluminum alloys, two processes: Solution and Precipitation heat treatment were used. Should the hardness increase or decrease from the original alloy after solution heat treatment? My reference text says that the material should be "soft and ductile" after...

What's the difference between the dotted lines and the regular lines on the iron-carbon alloy diagrams?

Does anyone know any good titles for books concerning metal alloys (esp. memory alloys)? Thanks, -scott

i am looking for the papers a bout nd-fe-b alloy

Once again I've left homework to the last minute so my teacher will moan if i go ask him tomorrow morning. I've scanned the net and all my textbooks but can't seem to find a working example that helps with what i am doing. Could someone look at these 2 questions and help me out? 1. An alloy...

Hi, just looking into metals and came across silver copper alloy having a density of 9900 - 1.05e4 kg per cubic metre. I have been told me that the value of e is (probably quite randomly) 2.71 and others said that it is an abbreviation for 0, eg. 1,000,000 could be written as 1e6 or 10,000 as...

Is it the case that an Aluminium alloy will change strength (yield/ultimate) if subjectet to a varying load instead of a static one? I can't quite see why it should...can someone help me with this?

I need the test methods for the Li alloy powders. What type of a test is needed to determine the content of the alloy? For instance Li-Al alloy? I couldn't find a suitable test for these powders (as known, these alloy powders are air and humidity sensitive, difficult to handle)
