Goldschmidt H.J. Interstitial Alloys

Springer, 1967. — 632 p.There has been outstanding progress in the development and understanding of interstitial alloys during recent years. Interstitial alloys, especially those between transition metals and the smaller atoms of carbon, nitrogen, boron, silicon, oxygen and hydrogen, either taken singly or together, constitute a significant section of the field of modern metallurgy. Many of these advances took place empirically or in specific technological contexts. This book reviews the subject as a whole, combining a stock-taking of present knowledge with a systematic survey of the underlying principles and trends. This conspectus reveals unexpected parallels between behaviour patterns in seemingly remote fields such as alloy steels and refractory metals. An incidental result is to show up many gaps in our knowledge which still exist, and this should stimulate further research. A number of comprehensive diagrams and tables will facilitate the use of this book as a work of reference, and selected literature is appended to each сhapter.Metal physics of interstitial alloys
