A series of 94 Zr-Fe Zr-Sn and Zr- Fe-9 alloys was prepared from Grade l'' iodide Zr and high-purity Fe and Sn by nonconsumable electrode arc melting techniques under an inent atmosphere. The alloy compositions ranged from pure Zr to the first compound in each binary system (Zr Fe/sub 2/ and Zr/sub 4/Sn, respectively). The ingots were homogenized to eliminate segregation and degassed to remove H prior to being cut or broken into small specimens and given equilibration anneals at temperatures between 500 and ll00 deg C. Metallographic examination of the heat treated and quenched samples was the main method for determining the phase relations of this system. X-ray diffraction and visible melting techniques were also employed. the results of this investigation are summarized in binary diagrams, isothermal sections, and vertical sections. (auth)
