The AI-Mo system is of a complex type, and a variety of phases are reported as being stable [Hansen, Elliott, Schunk].[80Bre] reviewed the literature and gave a phase diagram. The diagram presented here (Fig. 1, Table 1) differs in a number of aspects from [80Bre] and is based on a review of original data and thermodynamic calculations. AI-Rich Alloys (0 to 33 at.% Mo) The composition of the Al-rich liquidus is well established up to 1000 ~ [40Yam, 76Yer, 80Mal] (Fig. 2, Table 2). Based on this and the solid solubility measurements of Mo in A1 reported by [43Mon] and [60Vig] (Table 2), the most Al-rich reaction is a peritectic between the AI solid solution and All2Mo. This differs from [80Bre], who assumed a eutectic reaction.There is uncertainty concerning the stability of, and the exact sequence of, reactions involving the Al-rich intermetallic compounds.[64Wall] reviewed the available data previous to 1964 and put forward the reaction sequence shown in Fig. 3, where four peritectic reactions are postulated at 1130, 800, 735, and 700 ~ This review formed the basis for the reaction sequence given by [80Bre]. There is experimental evidence for reactions at ~ 1130 ~ [22Rei, 59Spe], -735 ~ [22Rei, 52Wac, 59Spe], and -700 ~ [40Yarn, 59Spe, 60Cla]. The peritectic reactions reported by [72Kam] at 717 and 684 ~ correspond to those at 735 and 700 ~ but lie -17 ~ lower.A review of the literature shows that the peritectic at 700 ~ is associated with the formation of All2MO [59Spe, 60Cla, 72Kam] and the peritectic at 735 ~ with
