Structural Thermodynamics of Alloys
Manenc, J. / Corcoran, N.
Technical progress has for a very long time been directly dependent on progress in metallurgy, which is itself connected with improvements in the technology of alloys. Metals are most frequently used in the form of alloys for several reasons: the quantity of pure metal in its native state in the earth's crust is very limited, pure metals must be extracted from ores which are themselves impure. Finally, the methods of treatment used lead more e...
