Phase equilibria in the Ti-Ni-Y system at the TiNi-YNi section are studied using physical and chemical methods (metallography, radiography, differential thermal and electron microprobe analyses). Data on hydrogen sorption and desorption by ternary system Y-Ni alloys are obtained. It is shown that the TiNiYNi section is quasibinary eutectic with the coordinates 990°C and ∼40 at.% Y. The solubility of Y and Ti in TiNi and YNi mononickelides is approximately <0.3 and 1 at.%. Equiatomic ternary (TiNiY) phase in the Ti-Ni-Y is not found. The alloy of equiatomic composition turns out to be ternary: + + . Based on sorption data, two hydrides may exist in the alloys with 30 to 40 at.% Y, which are thermally stable at 800°C and over a range of 300 to 600°C. It is revealed that the maximum amount of hydrogen at 0.1 MPa is absorbed by binary the YNi, YNi 2 , and YNi 5 phases at room temperature.We have previously studied the phase equilibria in ternary systems of TiNi with Sc, Zr, Hf, Rh, Ru, and Ir. The sections between TiNi equiatomic phases formed by Ti or Ni with the above metals are shown to be quasibinary [1][2][3][4]. The mononickelides of transient metals, which may form a quasibinary section by interacting with TiNi, include YNi in view of its thermodynamic properties. The Ni-Ti-Y system is of interest in that it has a component that, based on its position in the periodic table, should be similar to scandium (in the group) and zirconium (in the period) and whose alloys may show chemical and thermomechanical properties peculiar to Ni-Sc-Ti (Zr, Hf) systems.Published data on the interaction of components in the Ni-Ti-Y system are limited to the patented ternary alloy Ti-(50-60) at.% Ni-(0.001-0.05) at.% Y [5]. Yttrium admixtures promote the deoxidation of TiNi and improve its deformability, increase the martensitic transformation temperature, and constrict the temperature hysteresis.There are no published data on phase equilibria in the ternary system. Bounding binary systems were studied repeatedly, their phase diagrams have been plotted [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. According to the experimental data obtained in [6] for distilled yttrium and iodide titanium as starting materials, the Ti-Y is a eutectic system with eutectic coordinates: L ↔ βTi (0.2 at.% Y) + αY, 18.7 at.% Ti, and 1355 ± 10°C. The metatectic reaction βY → αY + L occurs in yttrium-based alloys at 1440 ± 5°C.The Ti-Y phase diagram [6] differs from those in [7,8] that are based on less pure components only in transformation temperatures and composition of invariant points. Thermodynamic calculations of phase equilibria in the Ti-Y system based on the experimental data [6-8] and taking account of experimental uncertainties admit that the phase diagram may be plotted using the reaction temperatures from [6] but assume that immiscibility is possible in liquid state at ~19 to 70 at.% Ti [9].The Ni-Y system is rich in intermediate phases: there are nine of them and they have very limited homogeneity regions. Only two of them ⎯ Y...
