ties of binary solid solutions. In conjunction with a r e cent study of the mechanical properties of Fe-base binary solid solutions, 1 we have determined the effects of Co, Cr, Ir, Pt, Re, Rh, and Ru additions on the lattice p a r a m e t e r of ~ - F e . The densities of these Febase solid solutions were also measured daring d e t e r ruination of the elastic constants. = These measured densities served as an independent check on the lattice p a r a m e t e r measurements. The alloys were prepared by two different methods. One group containing 1.5 to 6 at. pct of each solute was vacuum melted as 17 lb ingots with 0.15 pet Ti added as a getter to remove the interstitial impurities (C, O, and N). High-purity Fe and high-purity Co, Cr, It, Pt, Re, Rh, and Ru were the starting materials. The complete analyses of these materials was given earlier. ~ The second group, containing 8 to 10 at. pct of It, Pt, Re, Rh, or R
