Abstract
THE accurate determination of equilibrium conditions in solid alloys containing three or more elements sometimes presents considerable difficulty when the alloying metals are present in only small proportions. Direct X-ray examination is not always feasible, and indirect methods, such as the measurement of electrical conductivity, may fail because the changes in properties are often comparatively slight.
