Ch. Wu et al., PHASE-DIAGRAM OF THE FE-RICH PORTION OF THE R-FE-AL PSEUDOTERNARY SYSTEM (R=PR0.8TB0.2), Zeitschrift fur Metallkunde, 87(1), 1996, pp. 72-75
Phase equilibria in the Fe-rich portion of the R-Fe-Al pseudoternary s
ystems (R = Pr(0.8)Tb0.2) with Al less than or equal to 66.67 at. % an
d R less than or equal to 33.33 at. % were determined in two isotherma
l sections at 1000 degrees C and 600 degrees C by using optical micros
copy, differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction and electron pr
obe microanalysis techniques. The stability and homogeneity range of t
he intermetallic phases of Pr-Fe-Al system are practically unaffected
by substitution of Tb for Pr up to 20 at. %, however, the homogeneity
region of the Th2Zn17-type phase (Pr, Tb)(2)(Fe, Al)(17) is decreased
to 40 at. % Al.
