An experimental investigation of the Cr - Nb - C alloys has shown that in t
he (Cr) + (NbC) two-phase region there are the fold with maximal solidus te
mperature and the saddle point (Cr79.5Nb12.2C8.3) on the liquidus surface,
relating to L-e double left right arrow (Cr) + (NbC) invariant equilibrium
at greater than or equal to 1640 degreesC.
