Phase Diagram Relationships in the Ternary System Ti-Ai-V

Abstract

ABSTRACTLiquid-solid and solid state phase equilibria in the ternary system Ti-Al-V have been studied using a combination of several experimental techniques. A likely surface of primary seperation (i.e., the liquidus surface) is proposed in the form of the usual projection on the triangular base and the directions of the monovariant lines are defined. Four ternary invariant reactions have been identified in this system. Solid state equilibria have been determined at 900°C and are presented in the form of an isothermal section through the phase diagram. These are very similar to the relationships reported at 800°C by Hashimoto et al. [1].
