Select two elements from the periodic table. The app checks atomic size difference, crystal structure, electronegativity difference, and valency compatibility.
The tool reports phase tendency, size-severity band, VEC, lattice distortion, and qualitative strengthening.
Rule 1: Select two elements.
Rule 2: Select two elements.
Rule 3: Select two elements.
Rule 4: Select two elements.
Phase tendency will appear here.
Strengthening trend will appear here.
