A comprehensive compilation is ~ven of elastic properties of iron-nickel alloys. When sufficient data exist, preferred values are recommended_ This compilation covers, besides pure iron and pure nickel, the entire binary composition range, both b.c_c. and f.c.c. phases. Elastic constants included are: Young's modulus, shear modulus, bulk modulus (reciprocal compressibility), Poisson's ratio, and singlecrystal elastic stiffnesses, both second-order and higher-order. Data are compiled for variation of ela~tic com;tant<;. with rompo!>.ition, tpmpprlltllre, prp!>.!>.nrp., magnetic neld. mechanical deformation.annealing, and crystallographic transitions. An overview is given f~om the vantage points of the electron theory ·of m.etals, elasticity theory, and crystallographic theory. Also included are discussions of isothermal and adiabatic elastic constants, interrelationships among engineering elastic constants, computation of the latter from single-crystal elastic stiffnesses, and similar topics. Where key data have not been measured, they were generated if possible from existing data using standard formulae. Other gaps, both theoretical and experimental, in the elastic properties of iron-nickel alloys are indicated. A few theoretical results are included where experimental data are nonexistent or scarce. A semantic scheme is proposed for distinguishing elastic constants of solids.
