X-ray and microprobe analyses were employed for the investigation of Dy–Mn–Si system at 870/1070/1170 K. The Dy–Mn–Si system, contains the known DyMn{sub 2}Si{sub 2}, DyMnSi and Dy{sub 2}Mn{sub 3}Si{sub 5} compounds and DyMn{sub 4}Si{sub 2}, Dy{sub 2}MnSi{sub 2} and Dy{sub 3}Mn{sub 2}Si{sub 3} were new compounds identified first time and their structure are of the type TmCu{sub 4}Sb{sub 2}, Sc{sub 2}CoSi{sub 2} and Hf{sub 3}Ni{sub 2}Si{sub 3} respectively. The quasi-binary solid solutions were detected at 870/1070/1170 K: the ThMn{sub 12}-type Dy{sub 8}Mn{sub 87}Si{sub 5}, Th{sub 6}Mn{sub 23}-type Dy{sub 23}Mn{sub 72}Si{sub 5}, MgCu{sub 2}-type Dy{sub 33}Mn{sub 58}Si{sub 9} and AlB{sub 2}-type Dy{sub 38}Mn{sub 2}Si{sub 58}. The other binary compounds of the Dy–Mn–Si system do not show any visible solubility. New phases R{sub 2}MnSi{sub 2} and R{sub 3}Mn{sub 2}Si{sub 3} (R=Gd, Tb, Ho–Tm) were found out and their structure of the type Sc{sub 2}CoSi{sub 2} and Hf{sub 3}Ni{sub 2}Si{sub 3} respectively. The specific features of ‘Dy–Transition Metal–Si’ systems were discussed. - Graphical abstract: The isothermal section of Dy–Mn–Si contains the known DyMn{sub 2}Si{sub 2}, DyMnSi, Dy{sub 2}Mn{sub 3}Si{sub 5} and new TmCu{sub 4}Sb{sub 2}-type DyMn{sub 4}Si{sub 2}, Sc{sub 2}CoSi{sub 2}-type Dy{sub 2}MnSi{sub 2} and Hf{sub 3}Ni{sub 2}Si{sub 3}-type Dy{sub 3}Mn{sub 2}Si{sub 3} ternary compounds. The ternary solid solution based on the binary compounds of the Dy–Mn and Dy–Si systems: the ThMn{sub 12}-type Dy{sub 8}Mn{sub 87}Si{sub 5}, Th{sub 6}Mn{sub 23}-type Dy{sub 23}Mn{sub 72}Si{sub 5}, MgCu{sub 2}-type Dy{sub 33}Mn{sub 58}Si{sub 9} and AlB{sub 2}-type Dy{sub 38}Mn{sub 2}Si{sub 58}. The other binary compounds of the Dy–Mn–Si system do not show any visible solubility. New Sc{sub 2}CoSi{sub 2}-type R{sub 2}MnSi{sub 2} and Hf{sub 3}Ni{sub 2}Si{sub 3}-type R{sub 3}Mn{sub 2}Si{sub 3} phases were discovered for R=Gd, Tb, Ho–Tm. Display Omitted - Highlights: • The Dy–Mn–Si section contains three known and three new ternary compounds (phases). • New phase the TmCu{sub 4}Sb{sub 2}-type DyMn{sub 4}Si{sub 2} compound. • New Sc{sub 2}CoSi{sub 2}-type R{sub 2}MnSi{sub 2} and Hf{sub 3}Ni{sub 2}Si{sub 3}-type R{sub 3}Mn{sub 2}Si{sub 3} were detected for R=Gd–Tm. • Dy–Mn–Si supplements the ‘Dy–3d metal–Si’ series and leads to the ‘RT{sub m}X{sub n}’ row's rule.
