Structure of Metals, Third Edition: Crystallographic Methods, Principles and Data (International Series on Materials Science and Technology)

Presents the methods most used in determining the structures of crystalline and noncrystalline materials, introduces the nomenclature with which they and their symmetry properties are described, and summarises the nature of many of the most important structures and theories regarding them. Defects in crystals, the means of observing these, and transformations from one crystal structure to another are also treated. The treatment throughout stresses the importance of crystal structure of metals and alloys as a unifying feature underlying the methods of study, properties and behaviour.

The 35th Annual Denver Conference on Applications of X-Ray Analysis was held August 4-8, 1986, on the campus of the University of Denver. Since the previous year's conference had emphasized x-ray diffraction, this year the Plenary Session spotlighted x-ray fluorescence, with the title "Trends in XRF: A World Perspective," featuring renowned speakers from three major areas. XRF IN NORTH AMERICA, by Prof. D. E. Leydon, from Colorado State University, dealt specifically with developments in the fields of instrumentation, data treatment and applications in that part of the world. Prof. H. Ebel, from the Technical University of Vienna, discussed XRF IN EUROPE, concentrating on subjects including total reflection, improved fundamental parameters, quantitation without standards and imaging techniques. Tomoya Arai, of the Rigaku Industrial Corporation in Japan, in considering XRF IN THE FAR EAST, described the scientific activity in XRF and the applications thereof, primarily in Japan and China. These plenary lectures were interspersed with short discussions of PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS on the subject by the co-chairmen of the SeSSion, Ron Jenkins and myself. The intent of this session was to bring the audience up-to-date on the status of the field in various parts of the world, and to give some feeling concerning where it is likely to go in the immediate future. Hopefully, the publication of the written versions of those presentations in this volume will make the authors' thoughts available to many who could not be present at the conference.

Structure Of Metals

This early work on the structure of metals is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. Its 579 pages contain a wealth of information on the physical properties and chemistry of various metals. This is a fascinating work and is thoroughly recommended for students of metallurgy. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

This antique text contains a comprehensive treatise on the structure of metals, with information on crystallographic methods, principles, and data. This text was originally intended to serve both as a text and as a reference book. The portions intended for classroom use have been written for courses in crystallography, particularly the courses offered to students of metallurgy. It is primarily intended for graduate courses, but a number of the chapters are at a level appropriate for advanced undergraduate courses in applied x-rays, crystallography, and physical metallurgy. The chapters of this book include: 'The Fundamentals of Crystallography', 'The Stereographic Projection', 'X-Rays', 'Rotating-Crystal Methods', 'The Powder Method', 'The Determination of Crystal Structure', 'Pole Figures and Orientation Determination', 'Determination of Constitution Diagrams with X-Rays', etcetera. This text was originally published in 1932, and we are proud to republish it now complete with a new introduction on the subject.

The continuing success of the Denver X-Ray Conference is, it seems to me, the consequence of three equally important facets of each meeting. These are: 1) the collegial atmosphere and workshops at which experts and novices mix, talk, and informally share information at many levels; 2) the plenary session at which information is presented that intentionally brings new ideas to attendees to broaden the scope of the field; and 3) the traditional sessions in which interesting reports on current research and applications are presented in a timely and professional way. The first and last of these are discussed separately by Paul Predecki and are organized (no small task!) by the entire advisory board. This requires much more than deciding whether yet another workshop on specimen preparation is needed and whom to prevail upon to organize and present it. In fact, few attendees at these workshops ever appreciate the level of effort that Paul and his staff expend to make sure everything comes off smoothly, even when hundreds of copies of handouts need to be whipped off at the last moment, travel problems arise, or unusual audio­ visual aids are suddenly needed. But my topic here is the second of the three facets listed above - the plenary session. Organizing this falls to a single individual, on the theory that one person can then approach enough others as speakers to put together a unified and yet diverse program of related and interesting review papers.
