In a binary phase diagram for components and , the alloy composition (40% , 60% ) is cooled at a constant temperature , where it enters a two-phase region containing liquid (L) and solid (α) phases. At this temperature, the compositions of the liquid and solid phases are 70% and 50% , respectively. Using the lever rule, calculate the fraction of the solid (α) phase in the alloy at temperature .
