OSTI ID:4056924
The aluminum end of the aluminum-hafnium diagram was investigated and found to be very similar to that of the aluminum-titanium and aluminum-zirconium systems. The compound HfAl/sub 3/, having a body-centered tetragonal structure with alpha = 3.986 and c = 17.05 A, reacts peritectically with aluminum to form an aluminum-rich solid solution. The peritectic temperature is 666.2 plus or minus 0.5-C; the liquid solubility is 0.49 wt.% at the peritectic temperature and increases to 1.94% at 880 deg C. The solid solubility is 1.22% at the peritectic temperature and 0.86% at 430 deg C. A method of determining the solid solubility by measuring the resistivity directly at temperature was tested and proved satisfactory. (auth)
