Synopsis

Metals Reference Book presents a convenient summary of data concerning to metallurgy. It discusses the guidance for dealing with laboratory accidents. It addresses the radioactive isotopes and radiation sources. Some of the topics covered in the book are the x-ray crystallography; excitation of x-rays; rotating crystal methods; powder methods; the wide angle method; the Laue method; the intensity of x-ray reflections; derivation of accurate unit cell dimensions in crystals; and the schoenflies system of point- and space-group notation. The Hermann-Mauguin system of point- and space-group notation is fully covered. The structures of metals, metalloids, and there compounds is discussed in detail. The text describes in depth the metallurgically important minerals. The metallic systems of unlimited mutual solubility are presented completely. A chapter is devoted to the respiratory syncytial virus. Another section focuses on the physical properties of molten salts. The book can provide useful information to mineralogists, chemists, students, and researchers.

Reviews

<:;st> Previous editions are cited in BCL3 and Sheehy. The standard work for metallurgists in academia and industry throughout the world, providing comprehensive data on the physical, electrical, mechanical, and magnetic properties of metals. The present edition (6th in 1983) has been revised and rewritten where necessary to cover the latest developments. In particular, changes in the understanding of physical and mechanical properties, magnetic materials, shape memory alloys, vapor deposited coatings, and superplasticity are covered in detail.
