What is Hume-Rothery Rules for Metal Alloys about?

Hume-Rothery was a metallurgist who studied alloying metals and developed rules to describe when an element can dissolve in a metal to form a solid solution. The Hume-Rothery rules state that for a substitutional solid solution to form, the atomic sizes must differ by less than 15%, the crystal structures must be identical, elements with higher valences are more likely to dissolve those with lower valences, and electronegativity differences should be close to zero. Interstitial solid solutions occur when sm
