in Fig. 3 of our p a p e r . If In20 were a l t e r i n g the c a l i b r a t i o n over an 80 d e g r e e r a n g e of t e m p e r a t u r e , why would it not a l t e r the l i n e a r r e l a t i o n s h i p b e t w e e n in ain and 1/T over the s a m e span ? In s u m m a r y , it is our opinion that the e x i s t e n c e of In20 m o l e c u l e s in the vapor is of no c o n s e q u e n c e . If Jacob and Alcock a r e a w a r e of any m o l e c u l e or any atomic s p e c i e s that might be p r e s e n t that a b s o r b s s t r o n g l y at 3039.36A (or within the s p e c t r a l slit width of this wavelength) and not at 2836.92/~, they should focus t h e i r a r g u m e n t s a g a i n s t the technique on that s p e c i e s . These a r g u m e n t s should depend on known a b s o r p t i o n s p e c t r a , not t h e r m o d y n a m i c s t a b i l i t y of p o s sible s p e c i e s . I n t r o d u c t i o n of a c a l c u l a t i o n of s i g n i f i cant p r e s s u r e s of In20, or of f a i l u r e to deoxidize the s p e c i m e n s , is o t h e r w i s e a specious a r g u m e n t . i.

the c o u r s e of a study of t e m p e r e m b r i t t l e m e n t in a s e r i e s of 3.5 pct N i - l . 7 pct C r - b a s e d s t e e l s , n u m e r o u s o b s e r v a t i o n s w e r e made of a f r a c t u r e mode i n v o l v i n g i n t e r g r a n u l a r m i c r o v o i d c o a l e s c e n c e (IMC) on the high t e m p e r a t u r e side of the d u c t i l e - b r i t t l e t r a n s i t i o n . I Although the r e a s o n for this was not u n d e r s t o o d at the t i m e , l a t e r work showed that this effect (which r e d u c e s f r a c t u r e toughness) is r e l a t e d to the r a t h e r old m e t a l l u r g i c a l p r o b l e m of " o v e r h e a t i n g " of alloy s t e e l s The u n d e r s t a n d i n g of this phenornenon can be i m p o r t a n t in t h e r m a l p r o c e s s i n g of low Mn s t e e l s where high a u s t e n i t i z i n g t e m p e r a t u r e s a r e used, as in forging o p e r ations. IMC was found to be caused by the s p e c i a l a u s t e n i t i z a t i o n t r e a t m e n t used: 1250~ for 4 h, followed by a f u r n a c e cool to 900~ a 24 h hold, and an oil quench to r o o m t e m p e r a t u r e . This was followed by a t e m p e r i n g t r e a t m e n t of 2 h at 650~ and s o m e t i m e s by an aging t r e a t m e n t at a lower t e m p e r a t u r e . A d i r e c t oil quench f r o m 1250~ e l i m i n a t e d the IMC.
