A eutectic alloy of two metals contains the specific percentage of each metal that gives the lowest possible melting temperature for any combination of those two metals. Eutectic alloys are often used for soldering electronic components to minimize the possibility of thermal damage. In the past, the most common eutectic alloy used in this application has been 63% Sn, 37% Pb, with a melting temperature of about 361 degrees Fahrenheit [°F], To reduce lead pollution in the environment, many other alloys have been tried, including those in the table below. Complete the following table:
Eutectic Temperature | |||||
Compound | [°F] | [°C] | [K] | [°R] | |
(a) | 91% Sn, 9% Zn | 472 | |||
(b) | 96.5% Sn, 3.5% Ag | 890 |

- Q2 -Circle the correct word in the following sentence( 1) Materials that have high binding energy have high/low strength and melting temperature. Materials with ionic bonding have a particularly large/small binding energy due to the 2) large/small electronegativity difference between the ions. Metals have relatively higher/lower binding energies as the electronegativities of the atoms are similar. 3) A low-activation energy and rapid diffusion rate are obtained for (1) interstitial/vacancy diffusion, (2) crystal structures with a higher/smaller packing factor, and (3) materials with a high/low melting temperature or weak atomic bonding. 4) Smaller grain size higher/lower structural disorder. 5) Smaller grain size harder/lower to move dislocations across grain boundaries due to more barriers for slip. 6) More barrier for slip higher/lower material strength.arrow_forwardTma X Liquidus mg All Liquid A Liquid B+Liquid T TE A+B (all solid) Solidus A Figure 1 Study the following terms and phase diagram, fill in the blanks as indicated.
