Metallographic and x-ray studies were made on as-cast and annealed samples of thorium alloys containing Ru, Rh, Pd, Os, Ir, and Pt up to 33 at.% of each. The intermetallic compounds richest in thorium were found to be of the type Th/sub 7/X/sub 3/ in every case, except the alloy containing palladium, for which the compound was Th/sub 2/Pd, and the eutectic compositions and temperatures of all those compounds with thorium are tabulated. X-ray-powder patterns of the Th/sub 7/X/sub 3/ compounds are in agreement with those of Th/sub 7/Fe/sub 3/, and their lattice parameters, axial ratios, and x-ray densities are tabulated. (D.L.C.)
