Phase equilibria were experimentally investigated in the MgO–MnOx and the ZrO2–MgO–MnOx systems for different oxygen partial pressures by powder X‐ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, and differential thermal analysis. The formation of two compositionally and structurally different β‐spinel solid solutions was observed in the MgO–MnOx system in air in the temperature interval 1473–1713 K. Isothermal sections of the ZrO2–MgO–MnOx phase diagram were constructed for air conditions (bold-italicPboldObold2 = 0.21 bar) at 1913, 1813, 1713, 1613, and 1523 K. In addition, isothermal sections at 1913 and 1523 K were constructed for bold-italicPboldObold2 = 10−4 bar. The β‐spinel and halite phases of the MgO–MnOx system were found to dissolve up to 2 and 5 mol% ZrO2. A continuous c‐ZrO2 solid solution forms between the boundary ZrO2–MnOx and ZrO2–MgO systems. It stabilizes in the ZrO2–MgO–MnOx system down to at least 1613 K in air and down to 1506 K at bold-italicPboldObold2 = 10−4 bar.
The Al-Ni-Cr phase diagram was specified at 1000 • C and partially at 900 • C. The results concerning the region below 60 at.% Al agreed qualitatively with the literature data. The binary Al-Cr phases and ␥ dissolve up to ∼1 and ∼3 at.% Ni, respectively, and Al 3 Ni 2 up to ∼2.5 at.% Cr. Two ternary phases were revealed: hexagonal (a ≈ 1.77, c ≈ 1.24 nm) in a wide range between Al
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
