A small amount of Mg-EDTA is often added in the titrimetric determination of water hardness. Why?

Using the isothermal transformation diagram for a 0.45 wt% C steel alloy (Figure 10.40), determine the final microstructure (in terms of just the microconstituents present) AND approximate percentages of the microconstituents that form in a small specimen that has been subjected to the following time-temperature treatments. In each case assume that the specimen begins at 845°C (1550°F), and that it has been held at this temperature long enough to have achieved a complete and homogeneous austenitic structure. (a) Rapidly cool to 250°C (480°F), hold for 10^3 s, then quench to room temperature. (b) Rapidly cool to 700°C (1290°F), hold for 30 s, then quench to room temperature. (c) Rapidly cool to 700°C (1290°F), hold at this temperature for 10^5 s, then quench to room temperature. (d) Rapidly cool to 400°C (750°F), hold for 500 s, then quench to room temperature.

The assembly consists of a brass shell (1) fully bonded to a ceramic core (2). The brass shell [E = 86 GPa, α= 18 × 10−6/°C] has an outside diameter of 33 mm and an inside diameter of 27 mm. The ceramic core [E = 320 GPa, α= 2.5 × 10−6/°C] has a diameter of 27 mm. At a temperature of 15°C, the assembly is unstressed. Assume L = 320 mm. Determine the largest temperature increase Δ⁢t that is acceptable for the assembly if the normal stress in the longitudinal direction of the brass shell must not exceed 65 MPa.
