Prediction of High Temperature Metallic Phase Diagrams
Abstract
The Engel correlation between electronic configurations and crystal structures of metallic phases is confirmed and applied to the binary and multicomponent systems of the thirty metals of the three transition series from the alkali metals to the nickel-platinum group. The use of the Engel correlation to obtain electron configurations cad the application of internal pressures of the metals to the regular solution theory together with consideration of the sizes of metal atoms rakes possible the prediction of unknown phase diagrams. Diagrams are given as projections upon a composition scale and composition ranges given are the maximum extent over the entire temperature range of the solid phases. Of the two billion possible muiticomponent phase diagrams of the thirty metals, at least one and a half billion are readily obtained from the figures, tables, and text and methods are described for extending the procedures for prediction of phase diagrams to additional diagrams outside the range of metals considered.
