(((Abstract unscannable)))<>13:014503Thc Nb-O equilibrium system was determined by metallographic examination of arc-cast alloys made ot electron-gun-refined Nb metal and special purity Nb/sub 2/O/sub 5/. Two intermediate oxides. NbO and NbO/sub 2/, melt without decomposition at 1945 C and 1915 C, respectively. Eutectic reactions exist between Nb and NbO at 1915 C and between NbO and NbO/sub 2/ at 1810 C . Experimental evidence supports a peritectic reaction between NbO/sub 2/ and Nb/sub 2/O/sub 5/ at 1510 C. The maxinium solid solubility of 0 in Nb metal is 0.72 wt.%. (auth)
