Abstract
FROM the data given in Dr. Hansen's recently published elaborate work1, ” Equilibrium Diagrams of Two-Component Alloys”, and various other original diagrams, I have tried to find some regularities in the existence-ranges of the Hume-Rothery phases. The term existence-range indicates that range (expressed by the valency electron concentration) which lies between the maximum and the minimum solid solubilities of the second component in phases. The accompanying table was obtained. (In this table, the maximum solid solubility in solid solution and the minimum solid solubility in phase are also given.)
