From the resultant DSC curves (4 curves are given in the handout) determine the following parameters:

1. Fill in table-1 by determining the initial melting temperature, melting peak for each sample, and final melting point for each sample.

2. Plot the measured transition temperatures (initial and final) on the Pb-Sn phase diagram. Discuss about your observations on that.

3. Estimate the mass fractions of each phase in the composition given below using the lever rule (Use any temperature below 1000C). Fill in table-2 using the values of phase fractions.

4. Calculate the heat of fusion, which is the area under the curve between the solid and the dotted lines for each sample.

5. For each alloy, estimate the mass fractions of each phase from the microstructure given above.
