Abstract: The majority of the binary compounds of zinc with the metals from titanium to copper inclusive has been prepared, hardness tested and oxidized in air at successively higher temperatures. A zinc-ruthenium and some zinc-gadolinium compounds have also been tested. From the oxidation results, the temperature corresponding to a weight change of 1 mg cm−2 over 4h was determined by interpolation. The highest temperature values (700 to 800‡ C) were found for Zn8Cu5, Zn3Ni and Zn3Co, and the highest hardnesses (about 600 kg mm−2) for Zn8Cu5, Zn3Ni and ZnCo. A short survey of melting points and structures is presented, and the results are briefly discussed in terms of a previous hypothesis concerning combination of elements of groups IIB and IIIB with those of groups IIIC and IB.
