Abstract

The Zr–Ru–Al system was studied at 900 °C by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Some phase equilibria were established for the system with an Al content ≤ 55 at. %. The existence of two ternary compounds was confirmed: ZrRuxAl2-x with a hexagonal structure of the MgZn2 type (space group P63/mmc): a = 5.2225(5), c = 8.1980(8) Å and cubic Zr6Ru7+xAl16-x (x=0.58) with the Th6Mn23 type of structure: a = 12.27655(8) Å. A continuous solid solution based on binary compounds RuAl and ZrRu with a CsCl type of structure (PG Pm3^(-)m) was found along the isoconcentrate at 50 at. % Ru.
