Abstract

Phase relations have been evaluated for the Ta-V-Si system at 1500 and 1200 1C. Three ternary phaseswere found: t1-(Ta,V)5Si3 (Mn5Si3-type), t2-Ta(Ta,V,Si)2 (MgZn2-type) and t3-Ta(Ta,V,Si)2 (MgCu2-type).The crystal structure of t2-Ta(Ta,V,Si)2 was solved by X-ray single crystal diffraction (space group P63/mmc). Atom order in the crystal structures of t1-(Ta,V)5Si3 (Mn5Si3 type) and t3-Ta(Ta,V,Si)2 wasderived from X-ray powder diffraction data. A large homogeneity range was found for t1-(TaxV1_x)5Si3revealing random exchange of Ta and V at a constant Si content. At 1500 1C, the end points of the t1-phase solution (0.082rxr0.624) are in equilibrium with the solutions (Ta1_xVx)5Si3 (Cr5B3 type,0rxr0.128) and (TaxV1_x)5Si3 (W5Si3 type, 0rxr0.048).
