The formulation of quantum and statistical mechanics in the 20th century has provided the needed motivation for quantitative and predictive theories of metallic alloys. The various theories are encouraged by believes that they will lead to the formulation of better performing, more sustainable, and cost effective materials. Most data on the physical, thermodynamics and the mechanical properties of alloy systems are lacking and computation is believed to be a good starting point in experimental alloy developments. It can fill obvious data gaps and give insights into factors that govern...
