Binary Alloy Phase Diagrams

This 3-volume set includes 4,700 binary alloy phase diagrams and totals 3,589 pages. Atomic/weight per cent compositions, solubilities, stable/ metastable phases, discrepancies in reported values, uncertainties in experimental/calculated data Thermodynamics of pure elements Nomenclature, composition Pearson symbol, space group, Strukturbericht designation, prototype Primary references, additional related citations Complete list/sources of phase diagram information for all metal-metal/non-metal-metal alloys included in the Second Edition. Introduced in 1990, the revised 'Massalski' set has become the World Standard. The three volumes completely replace Hansen's original compilation by updating the data and expanding coverage to include all 2,965 known binary-alloy systems. More than 2,500 systems were critically evaluated under the ASM/NIST Data Program for Alloy Phase Diagrams; diagrams and data for the remaining 400 systems were selected as the best available. Reliability of all diagrams and data presented, however, has been insured by adherence to strict quality standards throughout preparation. For the convenience of engineers and scientists, both weight and atomic percent composition scales are presented in over 4,700 phase diagrams. Digitized from original Program graphs or redrawn from carefully selected data sources, each diagram is in accordance with established thermodynamic principles and consistent with melting and phase-transition temperatures of the pure elements. Concise descriptions of key features of each binary system, plus primary references are included. Also, comprehensive structural information nomenclature is provided (when known) for all stable and metastable phases present in Program diagrams. For quick consultation, key references from among those cited in a complete Program evaluation are listed at the end of each text. An exhaustive Alloys Index that lists the extent and source of phase-diagram information for metal-metal and metal-nonmetal systems covers all systems in this edition. 3,000+ Pages 4,700 Diagrams 50,000 Phases 3 Volumes Both Atomic and Weight per cent Diagrams
