Abstract
The isothermal section of the Mo-Ni-Zr system at 900 °C was investigated by characterization of eighteen equilibrium alloys. Electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to identify the phases and obtain their compositions. The existence of two ternary compounds, Zr65Mo18−x Ni16.5+x (τ1, cF96-Ti2Ni) and Zr65Mo27.3Ni7.7 (τ2, hP28-Hf9Mo4B), was confirmed in the Zr-rich corner, and the compositions of the two phases were determined. The isothermal section of the Mo-Ni-Zr system at 900 °C consists of 15 three-phase regions and 29 two-phase regions. The following three-phase equilibria were well established: (1) (Ni) + Ni7Zr2 + Ni5Zr, (2) MoNi + MoNi3 + Ni7Zr2, (3) Ni7Zr2 + MoNi + (Mo), (4) (Mo) + Ni7Zr2 + Ni3Zr, (5) (Mo) + Ni3Zr + Ni21Zr8, (6) (Mo) + Ni21Zr8 + Ni10Zr7, (7) (Mo) + Ni10Zr7 + NiZr, (8) (Mo) + Mo2Zr + NiZr, (9) NiZr2 + Mo2Zr + τ1, (10) τ1 + Mo2Zr + τ2, (11) τ2 + Mo2Zr + (Zr)ht, (12) NiZr2 + τ1 + (Zr)ht and (13) τ1 + τ2 + (Zr)ht. Several binary phases, such as MoNi3, Ni7Zr2 and Mo2Zr, dissolve appreciable amount of the third component.
