TABLE OF CONTENTS Except where otherwise indicated, the data given in these tables have been selected from three main sources: 'Selected Values of the Thermodynamic Properties of the Elements', by R. Hultgren, P O. Desai, D. T. Hawkins, M. Gleiser and K. K. Kelley, and by the same authors, 'Selected Values of the Thermodynamic Properties of Binary Alloys'; also 'Metallurgical Thermochemistry', 5th edn., by O. Kubaschewski and C. B. Alcock. [1] These works represent authoritative compilations of critically assessed data presently available, to which reference should be made for original sources or details of assessment.
