Abstract
The central part of the In-Ni phase diagram (0.45 ≤ Xln ≤ 0.60) was reinvestigated and the adjoining part of the ternary In-Ni-Sb phase diagram was studied experimentally. The investigation included thermal analyses (DTA), x-ray powder diffraction, and microprobe studies (EPMA). The ternary equilibrium phase relations were studied for three isothermal sections at 750,825, and 900 ‡C. Four new invariant ternary phase reactions were identified in the temperature range between 805 and 895 ‡C. A complete reaction scheme was constructed in the corresponding composition range, and the liquidus surface was derived from DTA data. The lattice parameter of the solid solution of Sb in CoSn-type Niln was studied as a function of composition by means of powder diffraction using the Guinier-Huber technique.
