In summary, investigations in the area of the chemistry of tantalum and niobium fluoride compounds will advance tantalum-niobium metallurgy and promote the development of new materials for modem applications.

Although typically whiggish, Smith s historical survey is extremely rich and useful because it emphasizes the interplay between various academic disciplines and the longstanding practical tradition of metallurgists. The quotation above points out at the two fundamental notions - structure and properties - of modem metallurgy which are also the basis of the conceptual framework of modern materials science. The earliest notions on metallic structures - polycrystallinity, solid solutions, segregation, diffusion, deformation - were not elaborated by theoreticians but rather by practitioners. [7]...

Crystallization problems are of great interest in modern science and technology. Modem solid state physics is closely connected with the study and use of large uniform crystals. A complex and deep study of crystallization processes is required in order to grow these crystals. Crystal studies are also important in biology, particularly in virology. Improvements in contemporary metallurgy and the chemical, ceramic... 

Metallurgy is another cost versus operability factor for heat exchangers. For example, for seawater service some companies specify 90/10 Cu-Ni tubes as minimum and do not allow the cheaper, but more prone to corrosion, aluminum-brass. One can even consider going on up to 70/30 Cu-Ni, or to one of the modem, high-performance... 

It is not surprising that the application of such a powerful method of investigation should have led, on the experimental side, to a vast extension of our knowledge of the properties of alloy systems. Even more important, however, is the fact that it has also laid the foundations of the modem theory of the metallic state, for, as we have seen in chapter 5, the basic concept on which this theory is based is that of the periodic field in a crystal structure. The development of metallurgy in the past has been hampered by attempts to make metal systems conform to the laws of chemical combination established by observations on bodies in which forces of an entirely different character are operative. Alloys differ profoundly in many of their properties from... 

Despite many recent advances in material science and engineering, the performance of ceramic components in severe conditions is still far below the ideal limits predicted by theory. Modem ceramics have been primarily the products of applied physics and parallel the developments of physical metallurgy. The emphasis on the relation between behavior and microstructure has been fruitful for ceramic scientists for several decades. It has been recently realized, however, that major advances in ceramics during the next several decades will require an emphasis on molecular-level control. Organic chemistry, once abhorred by ceramic engineers trained to define ceramics as inorganic-nonmetallic materials, has become a valuable source of new ceramics. It has recently become known that as the stmctural scale in ceramics is reduced from macro to micro and to nano crystalline regimes, the basic properties are drastically altered. A brittle ceramic material has been shown to be partially ductile, for example.

The name Alchemy most likely derives from the Arabic al-kimia or the Egyptian chem or khem meaning the stars 7 In Greek, the root Chymia means to fuse or cast a metal. The most literal meaning in modem idiom is perhaps God s mineralogy, metallurgy and chemistry.
