Title: THE ANTIMONY-ZIRCONIUM SYSTEM IN THE RANGE 0 TO 5 At. % ANTIMONY
Abstract: The solubilities of antimony in the alpha and BETA forms of zirconium were determined between 750 and 1300 deg C. The alpha phase forms by a periectoid reaction, and the alpha /( alpha + BETA ) and BETA /( alpha + BETA ) phase boundaries rise in temperature with increasing antimony. Impurities in the 99.95% zirconium were sufficient tc influence the phase boundaries and the variation reported is approximate. The restricted solid solubility of the arminal zirconium phases, which is especially characaristic of this system, is thought to result from the low free energy of the Z r/sub 2/Sb phase. (auth)
