Abstract
The Fe-Zn system has widespread technological applications because of the frequent use of zinc as a surface finish for iron. The role of the zinc is to inhibit corrosion of the iron by cathodic protection. Four low temperature intermediate phases can form in binary Fe-Zn alloys a nd are found in the zinc-rich portion of the phase diagram.1 The forma tion of intermediate phases in a binary alloy system can be deleteriou s because of the typically brittle nature of these phases and the resu lting impact they have on the mechanical stability of the system.
