Application of Tukey's Test for Statistical Measurement of Percentage Indexes Derived from the Difference Between Predicted Crystallographic Data in Five Nitihf Alloys Obtained by Two Processes

Abstract

The present paper uses the Tukey test to measure the minimal significative difference (MSD) between crystallographic data predicted by non-linear mathematical models generated from graphics published by Zarinejad (2008) and Potapov (1997) on 5 nominal compositions of Ni50Ti50-XHfX .at% substitutional alloys fused by arc melting and melt spinning processes. Results show that the calculated MSD do not represent a statistically significant difference. Therefore, it is concluded that the independent variable (Hafnium content) does not change the analysed dependent variables (lattice parameters, crystalline structure volume and monoclinic angle β) for any fusing processes.
