On completion of your research clearly identify the following for each alloy:
1) The composition of each including % of constituent elements
2) The principal mechanical, electrical and chemical properties of the alloy, including a
typical stress / strain diagram for the material.
3) A phase diagram for the two principal constituent elements of each alloy, ignoring the
impact of any lesser constituents. Fully label and explain the phase diagram for Monel.
4) Describe the microstructure of the alloy. Where an alloy is capable of taking on
multiple microstructures, detail those of engineering significance but omit others.
5) Indicate the crystal structure of the alloy over a wide range of temperatures.
6) Give examples of typical applications for each alloy and identify the key reasons for
selection
7) In your own words evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of each alloy.
You are expected to source diagrams and other supporting information from the internet or
from literature but you must ensure that these are taken only from authoritative sources and
are correctly referenced.
Your total submission for this assignment excluding diagrams is to be 2000 words. Your
assignment will be marked on its content not its length.
