The book "Cohesion in Metals: Transition Metal Alloys" by F. R. de Boer, R. Boom, W. C. M. Mattens, A. R. Miedema, and A. K. Niessen presents a model for energy effects in alloys, focusing on transition metal alloys. The model is developed in successive steps, with the proportionality constants P, Q, and R* being key components. The model is extended to include various aspects of alloy behavior, such as solid solutions and other models for predicting enthalpies of alloy formation. The book also provides extensive data on various transition metals, including chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, and others, with detailed tables of properties, phase diagrams, and experimental and predicted values for intermetallics and liquid alloys. The data is organized into chapters for each metal, with each chapter containing tables of properties, phase diagrams, and experimental and predicted values for different types of alloys. The book is a comprehensive resource for understanding the energy effects in transition metal alloys and provides a detailed framework for predicting alloy behavior.The book "Cohesion in Metals: Transition Metal Alloys" by F.
