Description
The Electron Theory of Alloying is beginning to identify the effects that can’t be detected experimentally but current developments in effects are important and may offer an explanation of some of the experimental data shown in this module. In the absence of both up-to-date experimental data and a completely satisfactory theoretical explanation for solid solution strengthening, most of the approaches to prediction are based on literature reviews or statistical analysis. In this module the solid solution effects will be detailed in the first section of the module. Then, the theoretical treatments and empirical data will be related mathematically, and the linearisation effects will be evaluated.
Finally, the impact properties related with the solid solution strengthening will be introduced. The result for experimental data vs theoretical model will be showed and conclusion will be presented.
