Abstract

Alloy properties are often summarized on two-dimensional maps. For instance, Darken and Gurry related the terminal solubilities of alloy systems to two coordinates (the differences in electronegativities and in atomic radii of the alloy constituents). Maps are considered here which correlate the structures in which the compounds form as well as providing some indication of whether a compound forms at some given composition in the first place. This class of map involves one coordinate which is the difference in an atomic parameter (here it will be taken to be the electronegativity) while the other is an average (in this case the d band hole count). This contrasts with Darken Gurry maps and Giessen's maps related to glass-forming ability (elsewhere in this volume) where both coordinates are differences. The situation for 50/50 transition metal alloys is reviewed and results are presented for systems off 50/50 composition.

[10] There is a difference between the MoSi2 and Cu 2Mg cases. The MoSi2 structures involve a single group of pairs forming at both AB2 and A2B compositions (e.g. Pd 2Ti and PdTi2 both form in this structure) which, of necessity,, involve differing Δϕ and ¯Nh. The occurrence of two MoSi2 regions might be considered an artifact of the mapping scheme.Google Scholar
[11] The Nn employed in the maps were calculated assuming exact 3:1 (and 2:1) composition ratios whereas the σ phase, and to a less extent the WO3, occur for ranges of composition which are not exactly centered on 2:1 or 3:1 ratios. A map evaluated using the actual centers of composition yields a better separation between these two phases than is seen here.Google Scholar
