Description

Recently a new method to the alloy design has been developed on the basis of the molecular orbital calculations of electronic structures. In this method alloy properties are well predicted employing two alloying parameters, the bond order and the d-orbital energy level. For example, the phase stability of austenitic (f.c.c.) alloys can be predicted quantitatively. Zirconium alloys for water reactors, and also low activation austenitic Fe-Cr-Mn based alloys for fusion reactors have been designed successfully with this method. (author)
