TERNARY PHASE EQUILIBRIA IN TRANSITION METAL-BORON-CARBON-SILICON SYSTEMS. PART II. TERNARY SYSTEMS. VOLUME VIII. TA-W-C SYSTEM.

Abstract

The ternary alloy system Ta-W-C has been investigated by means of X-rays, metallographic, melting point, and differentila-thermoanalytical techniques, and a complete phase diagram was established. Thermodynamic approaches for the interpretation and prediction of ternary alloy systems are briefly discussed and applied to the tantalumtungsten-carbon system. The thermodynamic data obtained from an evaluation of the system sections are compatible with previous values obtained from other carbide systems, and the calculated temperature sections and isopleths are in good agreement with the experimental observations. The results of this investigation are discussed and possible fields of applications outlined. (Author)
