A new valence electron structure (VES) parameter-transformation effect coefficient of alloying elements (HL), is defined and then studied both theoretically and ex- perimentally. The relationship between the parameter HL and the multiplying factor (the quenching capability factor) of alloying elements is studied. The results indi- cate that the two parameters (HL and the quenching capability factor) have the same variation characteristic and substance feature. Therefore, the multiplying factor virtually expresses the relative quantity of structural units in the alloying elements-containing austenite.展开更多

The distributions of covalent electrons in different bonds indicate that B-B and B-Me have remarkably covalent bonding characters. Lattice electrons cruising around Me-Me layers are found to have great influences on electronic conductivity and high temperature plasticity. The ultra-high values of elastic constant Cn in the two compounds originate from close-packed covalent bonding along the c axis. Uneven bond strengths and distributions of covalent bonds, especially for B-Afe bonds, yield significant anisotropy. Low ratios of lattice electrons to covalent electrons suggest the intrinsic embrittlement in crystals. The fact that the calculated cohesive energies well agree with experimental results demonstrates the good suitability of the EET calculations in estimating cohesive energy for transition-metal borides.展开更多

A hardness model is presented on the basis of the Empirical Electron Theory generated from Pauling’s covalent bond length equation and the bond length difference method. The calculated hardness values of inorganic crystals are in good agreement with experimental and other theoretical values. Covalent bond energy with polarity correction can be used as an intrinsic indicator linking microscopic electronic structure to macroscopic hardness. A simple mathematical processing of bond energy is performed to extend the model to multi-bonding or multi-component systems. It is also found that spatial distribution of covalent bonds has a great influence on the hardness of inorganic crystals.展开更多
