THE LATTICE PARAMETERS AND SOLUBILITY LIMITS OF ALPHA IRON AS AFFECTED BY SOME BINARY TRANSITION-ELEMENT ADDITIONS.

Abstract : The lattice parameters of alpha iron with binary additions of all the transition metals, except technetium, have been accurately determined on solid samples. No direct correlation with solute size is observed, but an effect of electron configuration is noted. The solubility limits of alpha iron with Ti, Cu, Zr, Nb, Mo, Hf, Ta, and W were determined at 600, 700, 800, and 900 C. (Authors)
