Order-disorder transitions in ternary alloys

Among the various types of crystal defects, dislocations have shown to be particularly important. It is their behavior which determines the mechanical properties of crystalline solids. In addition, dislocations may play important roles in crystallization, in the precipitation of phases in the solid state and in phase transformations. For these reasons knowledge of dislocations is indispensible for metallurgists and material scientists. ... Zie: Summary
