System W-V-Si

Conclusions The methods of x-ray structural and microstructural analyses were used to investigate the ternary system W-V-Si and to plot an isothermal section of this system at 1000° C. It was established that continuous series of solid solutions exist between the isostructural compounds W₅Si₃ and V₅Si₃. The solubility of tungsten in the compound V₃Si is about 16 at. % W. The continuous solid solution between tungsten and vanadium decomposes at a temperature of 1000° C into two solid solutions: that of tungsten in vanadium (30 at. % W) and that of vanadium in tungsten (55 at. % V).Translated from Poroshkovaya Metallurgiya, No. 5 (53), pp. 85–88, May, 1967.
