Bonding Theory for Metals and AlloysAuthor(s): Frederick E. Wang\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Elsevier Science & Technology, United Kingdom\nImprint: Elsevier Science Ltd\nISBN-13: 9780444642011, 978-0444642011\nSynopsis\nBonding Theory for Metals and Alloys, 2e builds on the success of the first edition by introducing new experimental data to each chapter that support the breakthrough \""Covalon\"" Conduction Theory developed by Dr. Wang. Through the recognition of the covalent bond in coexistence with the 'free' electron band, the book describes and demonstrates how the many experimental observations on metals and alloys can all be reconciled. Subsequently, it shows how the individual view of metals and alloys by physicists, chemists and metallurgists can be unified. This book covers such phenomena as the Miscibility Gap between two liquid metals, phase equilibrium, superconductivity, superplasticity, liquid metal embrittlement, and corrosion. The author also introduces a new .
