Structure and stability of Laves phases part II—structure type variations in binary and ternary systems
TL;DR: In this article, various models for the prediction of the occurrence and stability of Laves phases have been discussed and the need for careful experimental investigations of phase equilibria is demonstrated, and some general rules for the occurrence of different Laves phase polytypes are derived from a study of the results of experimental phase diagram investigations of various binary and ternary systems.

Laves phases: a review of their functional and structural applications and an improved fundamental understanding of stability and properties
Frank Stein,Andreas Leineweber +1 more
TL;DR: There is a broad range of successful utilization of Laves phases in functional applications including hydrogen storage material (Hydraloy), as magneto-mechanical sensors and actuators (Terfenol), or for wear and corrosion-resistant coatings in corrosive atmospheres and at high temperatures (Tribaloy).

Ternary Zr-Nb-Fe(O) system: phase diagram at 853 K and corrosion behaviour in the domain Nb < 0.8%
TL;DR: In this paper, the microstructure was investigated by TEM, with a particular attention paided to the SPP nature and composition, and the isothermal cut at 853 K of the Zr-Nb--Fe ternary phase diagram, particularly the solubility limit of Nb in αZr which appears equal to 0.37 ± 0.05 wt%, which is much lower than the usually assumed value of 0.6 wt%.

Corrosion behavior and oxide properties of Zr-1.1 wt%Nb-0.05 wt%Cu alloy
TL;DR: In this paper, the corrosion behavior and oxide properties of Zr 1.1%Nb-0.05%Cu and Zircaloy-4 have been investigated.
Phase equilibria of Mg-Al-Ca ternary system at 773 and 673 K
TL;DR: In this paper, the isothermal sections of the Mg-Al-Ca ternary system at 773 and 673 K were determined by phase analysis with electron-probe microanalysis (EPMA) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

A chemical scale for crystal-structure maps
TL;DR: A chemical scale χ is presented in this paper which characterizes each atom in the periodic table and allows a single two-dimensional structure map (χA, χB) to be plotted for all binary compounds with a given stoichiometry ABn.

Structure maps for. Pseudobinary and ternary phases
TL;DR: In this paper, the empirical database of Villars and Calvert on the structures of pseudobinary and ternary phases is ordered within a limited number of two dimensional plots by using the recently proposed Mendeleev number M, which takes a unique value for each element in the periodic table.

Irradiation-induced microstructural changes in Zr-1% Sn-1% Nb-0.4% Fe
TL;DR: In this article, the evolution of the microstructure and phase composition of Zr-1% Sn 1% Nb 0.4% Fe was studied by irradiating specimens of channel and cladding tubes at 300 to 350°C and neutron fluences up to 4.1 × 10 26 n m −2 (E > 0.1MeV).
