The microstructure of an iron–carbon alloy consists of proeutectoid ferrite and pearlite; the mass fractions of these two microconstituents are 0.286 and 0.714, respectively. Determine the concentration of carbon in this alloy.
Added by Brittany S.
Step 1
286 and the mass fraction of pearlite is 0.714, we can calculate the weight percentage of carbon in each microconstituent. From the information provided, we know that the weight percentage of carbon in proeutectoid ferrite (alpha phase) is 0.022% and in pearlite (a Show more…

The microstructure of an iron-carbon alloy consists of proeutectoid cementite and pearlite; the mass fractions of these microconstituents are $0.11$ and $0.89$, respectively. Determine the concentration of carbon in this alloy.
The microstructure of a copper-silver alloy at $775^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\left(1425^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\right)$ consists of primary $\alpha$ and eutectic structures. If the mass fractions of these two microconstituents are 0.73 and $0.27,$ respectively, determine the composition of the alloy.
