Abstract
The equilibrium phase diagram of the Ce-Zr-Au system was studied by differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction and electron probe microanalysis along the isopletic section at 50 at. % Au. Our main result concerns the discovery of a new ternary phase and a ternary invariant. The polymorphic transitions of the ZrAu phase, previously reported, was confirmed and we precised the melting and the polymorphic transition temperatures of the CeAu phase. A schematic representation of the isopletic section is given.
