his framework to propose NiMn is absolutely not nucler, but about the phase transition graph. The idea behind is that if you use PdAg or NiMn you can load hydrogen (D/H) with less damage in the crystaline lattice at lower temperature.
when Ag and Mn reduce a threshold temperature, above whiche phase transition is smoother and there is less damage in the latice. It may be coherent with Ed Storms theory, and his hypothesis that big cracks are bad, and compete with smaller cracks that are however required, and maybe produced by alpha-beta transition, but the smoother version... all is about metallurgy. 2017-06-14 15:17 GMT+02:00 Jones Beene <jone...@pacbell.net>: > Thanks.
