Abstract
Phase transformations in the Zr-Co-Sn ternary system have been studied at crystallization using differential thermal analysis (DTA), x-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and electron probe microanalysis. The solidus surface of this system over the whole concentration range is constructed for the first time, involving 20 three-phase regions. Four ternary compounds, viz. ZrCo2Sn (τ1), ZrCoSn (τ2), Zr6Co1.65Sn1.35 (τ3), and Zr5Co6Sn18 (τ4), are confirmed. It is shown that they exist at the solidus temperatures. The crystal structure of the compound τ4 is first established as Tb5Rh6Sn17-type (cF116-Fm-3m) with lattice parameter a =13.376(6) Å. Only one ternary compound (ZrCo2Sn, τ1, Heusler phase) has a rather wide homogeneity range at solidus temperature (43.5–50 at.% Co along the 50Zr50Sn-Co ray). Binary compounds Zr5Sn3+x and ZrCo2 dissolve up to 9 at.% Co and 14.5 at.% Sn, respectively. All other compounds are practically linear phases. The above six phases define the character of the solidus projection, taking part in all three-phase equilibria, except for those with participation of Sn.
