coefficients (maximum spontaneous volume magnetostriction) in certain ranges of …

Equiatomic alloys (eg high entropy alloys) have recently attracted considerable interest due
to their exceptional properties, which might be closely related to their extreme disorder …

Forcenturies, composersandmusicianssuccessfullycompl…. Composers provided humanity
with superb compositions, and musicians have been making attempts to vivify the …

Alloy steel design has always faced a central problem: designing for a specific property very
rarely produces a simultaneous significant improvement in other properties,. For instance, it …

The stacking fault energy (SFE) of austenitic stainless steels has been determined using a
quantum mechanical first-principles approach. We identify the electronic, magnetic and …

Iron played an important role in the development of the industrial society and has not lost
any of its significance since today. This book provides the foundations of understanding the …

Solid solution strengthening remains the basis for many industrial alloys, yet chemical short-
range order (CSRO) can also play a significant role in the strengthening of alloys with …

The phase stability of fcc and bcc magnetic binary Fe-Cr, Fe-Ni, and Cr-Ni alloys, and
ternary Fe-Cr-Ni alloys is investigated using a combination of density functional theory …

The alloying effects of Mn, Co and Nb on the stacking fault energy (SFE) of austenitic
stainless steels, Fe–Cr–Ni with various Ni contents, are investigated via quantum …

The surprisingly low magnetic transition temperatures in austenitic stainless steels indicate
that in these Fe-based alloys magnetic disorder might be present at room temperature …
