Abstract

Isothermal section of Ti-Nb-Sn at 1173 K was experimentally studied by back-scattered electron, electron probe microanalysis and X-ray diffraction analysis. Solid solution phase β(Ti, Nb), liquid Sn and eight intermetallic compounds Ti3Sn, Ti2Sn, Ti5Sn3, Ti6Sn5, Nb6Sn5, Nb3Sn, Ti3Nb2Sn2 and Ti3NbSn coexisted. Four ternary phase regions Ti3Sn + Ti3NbSn + β(Ti, Nb), Ti3NbSn + Ti3Nb3Sn2 + Ti3Sn, Ti2Sn + Ti3Sn + Ti3Nb3Sn2 and Ti6Sn5 + Ti3Nb3Sn2 + Nb3Sn were experimented. In addition, the proper composition range of the single phase was suggested. All the detected Ti-Sn and Nb-Sn compounds have a remarkable solubility along the isoconcentration of Sn. β(Ti, Nb) has a relatively large solution while liquid Sn has a little in the isothermal section.
