The handbook series proceeds by categories, such as Ag-X-Y or Mg-X-Y,  which - to the best of our knowledge - cover all systems which have had the attention of experimentalists. To critically evaluate the estimated 50.000 publications on ternary phase diagrams is a truly international challenge and the evaluation program always has been understood this way.
At present 18 volumes of this series were published with the last three volumes being topical monographs on Mg-X-Y systems.

Concept

• Critical Evaluations
  The complete literature for each ternary system was critically evaluated by specialists before diagrams and data are included in the series.
• Peer-reviewed
  A double-blind peer-review procedure at MSI is more demanding then it usually is for the orignal journal publications. The reviewers have at hand the same literature which was available and cited by the authors. This allows reviewers to get deep insight in the materials system and to check the conclusions of the authors vs the original data, to ensure high quality of the manuscript.
• Comprehensive
  Ternary Alloys proceeds category-wise and covers comprehensively all ternary system ever investigated.
• Uniform Structure
  Alphabetical arrangement by element symbols and uniform structure of all chapters allow easy access to the data.
• Starting with the Volume 19, MSI is changing slightly the concept of the handbook series “Ternary Alloys" Instead of exploring alphabetically all ternary systems based on one chemical element, like Al-X-Y or Mg-X-Y, the following volumes are be dedicated to particular classes of materials or particular application areas, like volume 19 – “Selected Systems for Nuclear Applications”. Selected are ternary systems of importance to industrial alloy development and systems which gained scientific interest in the recent years.
