random alloy; disordered alloy
Technical term in materials science for an alloy whose constituent atoms are arranged without long-range order, as opposed to an ordered alloy.
A random alloy lacks periodicity in its atomic arrangement compared to an ordered alloy.
This disordered alloy exhibits stable properties even at high temperatures.
An ordered alloy, where atoms occupy specific lattice sites in a regular pattern, in contrast to the random arrangement of a 不規則合金.
Compound of 不規則 (fukisoku, 'irregular') and 合金 (gōkin, 'alloy'). The term is a direct calque of the English 'random alloy' or 'disordered alloy'.
