Solid-solution Sentence Examples

Sometimes the whole alloy is a uniform solid solution.

This alloy, if allowed to solidify completely before chilling, turns into a uniform solid solution, and at still lower temperatures the solid solution breaks up into a pearlite complex.

The analogy between the breaking up of a solid solution on cooling and the formation of a eutectic is obvious.

Iron and phosphorus unite to form a solid solution which breaks up on cooling into a pearlite.

The difference between softness and hardness in ordinary steel is due to the permanence of a solid solution of carbon in iron if the steel has been chilled or very rapidly cooled, while if the steel is slowly cooled this solid solution breaks up into a minute complex of two substances which is called pearlite.

In the case of some bronzes, for example that with about 25% of tin, the solid solution is soft, and the complex into which it FIG.

It is often very difficult to distinguish between a chemical compound, for example, and the case of solid solution represented by fig.

Austenite, gamma ('y) iron.-Austenite is the name of the solid solution of an iron carbide in allotropic y-iron of which the metal normally consists when in region 4.

The two principal minerals are termed alite and celite; according to the best opinion, alite consists of a solid solution of tricalcium aluminate in tricalcium silicate, and celite of a solid solution of dicalcium aluminate in dicalcium silicate.

Since alite is a solid solution and, although an individual mineral, is not a chemical unit, the proportion of tricalcium silicate to tricalcium aluminate in a given specimen of alite will vary; but, whatever the proportions, each of these substances will react in its characteristic manner according to the equations given above.

In the case of steel (see Iron And Steel) the solid solution is very hard, while the pearlite complex is much softer.

The solid alloy consists of crystals of pure tin in juxtaposition with crystals of almost pure lead and bismuth, these two metals dissolving each other in solid solution to the extent of a few per cent only.
