The ten chapters outline the ability of electron theory to make quantitative predictions (such as heats of formation, planar fault energies, shear moduli and magnetic anisotropy), and to provide simplifying concepts for understanding trends in alloy behaviour.Book (Institute of Materials (Great Britain)) ;534.AlloysMetallurgyAlloysMetallurgy.530.41669.9Pettifor D.
