One of the few papers on the metallurgical applications of topology to come from the English-speaking countries is that by Smith. Although dealing mainly with the shape of grains, Smith includes a brief reference to the topology of phase diagrams. The majority of the literature relating to the topological study of phase diagrams is Russian, and little known outside the U.S.S.R.
