Book Description

Excerpt from Applications of Phase Diagrams in Metallurgy and Ceramics, Vol. 2 Quantitative data on physical and chemical properties of materials form a key resource of modern technology. In.the past a few dedicated scientists and engineers have performed an important service by compiling and evaluating such data for use by the technical community; an outstanding example is the work of Hansen on alloy phase diagrams. With the rapid growth of science and technology, this task has become too large and complex for a single individual. Organized programs with preper funding and continuity are essential if the technical community is to have the reliable data needed to solve the problems of modern society. This Workshop represents an effort to coordinate and reinforce the current efforts on compilation of phase diagrams of alloys and ceramics. Many research groups and individual scientists throughout the world are concerned with phase equilibrium data. Specialized expertise exists in small institutions as well as large laboratories. If this talent can be effectively utilized through a cooperative effort, the needs for such data can be met. The Office of Standard Reference Data, which serves as the program management office for the National Standard Reference Data System, is eager to work with all groups concerned with this problem. Through a cooperative international effort we can carry out a task which has become too large for an individual.
