Abstract
Quantitative size-factors have been calculated from the initial slopes of volume/ concentration plots for interstitial solid solutions, using data available in the literature. Solutions extending beyond 5 at.% are found to occur only in alloy systems for which the volume size-factor is less than 30×10−4. In order of relative importance, the factors which inhibit the formation of extensive solutions are: the electronic structure, the misfit strains and the elastic coefficients. These factors are discussed for the solutions based on BCC, FCC and HCP structures.
