    Researchers are developing wear-resistant copper alloys by dispersing TiB2 particles within copper. They will create two experimental alloys: Alloy A with 0.02 micron TiB2 particles and Alloy B with 1 micron particles. Students are asked to determine the total volume fraction of TiB2 that should be added to the copper alloy to minimize wear from plowing and delamination, while stating any assumptions.

    Homework # 5 Due: Tuesday, 4 November 2003
    We are trying to develop wear resistant alloys that can be used in applications where wear
    by plowing and wear by delamination can occur. One idea we came up with is to create
    dispersion-strengthened alloys by creating TiB
    2
    particles in copper.
    Suppose we can control the particle size of TiB
    2
    and disperse them uniformly throughout
    the matrix. We want to make two experimental alloys:
    Alloy A copper with 0.02 microns diameter TiB
    2
    particles
    Alloy B copper with 1 micron diameter TiB
    2
    particles
    Determine the total volume fraction of TiB
    2
    that we should put into the copper alloy to
    minimize both the wear by plowing and wear by delamination.
    State your assumptions clearly.
