Since the first volume of this series was published in 1991 there has been remarkable progress in the investigation of binary alloys. This has necessitated a compilation of the new data in supplement volumes. This volume provides a standard reference book with selected and easily retrievable data from the fields of physics and chemistry.
This book introduces the practical applications of phase diagrams, aimed at students and professionals in chemistry, metallurgy, mineralogy, and materials science. It combines clear explanations of experimental methods with real-world examples, making the formal aspects of phase equilibria more accessible.
For everyone concerned with the technology and application of metals and alloys and with the development of new metallic materials, a detailed knowledge of phase equilibria is indispensable. So volume IV/5 had to be divided into several subvolumes which cover - in alphabetical order - all binary systems of importance.
