S. Miura et al., Liquidus and solidus temperatures of Ni-solid solution in Ni-Al-X (X : V, Nb and Ta) ternary systems, J PH EQUIL, 22(3), 2001, pp. 345-351
A systematic investigation was carried out to determine both liquidus and s
olidus surfaces of the Ni-solid solution (gamma) in the Ni-Al-X ternary pha
se diagrams successively by differential thermal analysis (DTA) technique.
Each of the Group V elements of the periodic table, V, Nb, and Ta, was chos
en as a ternary additive X in the present study. The gamma -solvus was also
taken into account in determining a temperature range for a solid solution
treatment above the gamma -solvus, i.e., "the window," as well as the maxi
mum solubility limit of gamma -Ni solid solution.
