CHAPTER 15. INVAR ALLOYS
surveys of Kaya (1978), Wasserman (1991), and Shiga (1994). The properties of a number
of Invar alloys based on stainless steel are shown in Fig. 15.3. Invar properties are also
found in many intermetallic compounds. For example, compounds of the
type,
discussed extensively in Section 12.5, also display such properties (Fig. 15.4).
