X-ray, metallographic, and melting-point studies were made of the molybdenum-rhenium system. Rhenium dissolves extensively in molybdenum, the maximum solubility of 43 at. % at 2440 C fulling to 26 at.% at 900 C. The solid solubility of molybdenum in rhenium is 15 at.% at 2500 C and 8 at.% ant 900 C. Two intermediate phases occur in the system. The sigma phase has a wide homogeneity range, 52 to 71 at.% rhenium at 2400 C, and forms peritectically from rhenium solid solution and liquid at 72 at.% rhenium, 2520 C. The /sub X/ phase, with the alpha -manganese structure, forms peritectoidally at 1800 to 1850 C, 76.5 at.% rhenium, and exists from 76 to 80 at.% rhenium at 1200 C. (auth)
