X-ray diffraction data are presented for combustion products in the Al-W-N system. New, nonequilibrium intermetallic compounds have been identified, their diffraction patterns have been indexed, and their unit-cell parameters have been determined. The phases α -and β -WAl 4 are shown to exist in three isomorphous forms, differing in unit-cell centering. The phases α '-, α ''-, and α '''-WAl 4 are monoclinic, with a 0 = 5.272 Å, b 0 = 17.770 Å, c 0 = 5.218 Å , β = 100.10° ; point groups C 12/ c 1, A 12/ n 1, I 12/ a 1 , respectively. The phases β '-, β ''-, and β '''-WAl 4 are monoclinic, with a 0 = 5.465 Å , b 0 = 12.814 Å , c 0 = 5.428 Å , β = 105.92° ; point groups A 112/ m , B 112/ m , I 112/ m , respectively. The compounds WAl 2 and W 3 Al 7 , identified each in two isomorphous forms, differ in cell metrics (doubling) but possess the same point group: P 222. : orthorhombic, a 0 = 5.793 Å , b 0 = 3.740 Å , c 0 = 6.852 Å. : orthorhombic, a 0 = 11.586 Å , b 0 = 3.740 Å , c 0 = 6.852 Å. W 3 : orthorhombic, Pmm 2, a 0 = 6.225 Å , b 0 = 4.806 Å , c 0 = 4.437 Å. W 3 : orthorhombic, Pmm 2, a 0 = 12.500 Å , b 0 = 4.806 Å , c 0 = 8.874 Å. The new phase WAl 3 : triclinic, P 1, a 0 = 8.642 Å , b 0 = 10.872 Å , c 0 = 5.478 Å , α = 104.02°, β = 64.90°, γ = 107.15° .
