“…So far, a serial of ternary systems related to the nine-element system such as Fe-Ni-Ti [17], Fe-Ni-Zr [18], Cu-Fe-Ti [19], Cu-Ti-Zr [20], Co-Cu-Ti [21], Ni-Ti-Co [22], Ni-Cr-Ti [23], Co-Ti-Zr [24], Co-Cr-Zr [25], Cu-Cr-Zr [26] and Ti-Cr-Mn [27] have been well carried out. Some other ternary systems related to the nine-element system need to be further researched.…”
