Abstract
We have used microstructural, differential thermal, x-ray phase, and electron probe analysis to study alloys in the Ti-TiNi-NbNi-Nb region of the ternary Ti-Nb-Ni system, both as-cast and annealed at 900°C. We have located a pseudobinary 〈TiNi〉-〈β〉 section, where β is a Nb-rich (Nb, Ti)-based solidsolution. The pseudobinary eutectic point parameters are 1170°C and 38 Ni 26 Nb (at. %). We have found two invariant peritectic four-phase equilibria for crystallization of the alloys in the region of interest: L + TiNi ⇔ β + Ti2Ni (950 °C) and L + β ⇔ TiNi + NbNi (1140°C). We have not confirmed the existence of a ternary compound Ti3(Ni,Nb)2.
