Interaction behaviour of neodymium and silver with elements of Group IVa at 600°C

Abstract Phase equilibria have been established in the ternary NdAgGe(Sn) systems over the whole concentration region and in the ternary NdAgPb system within 0–33 at.% Nd for an isothermal section at 600°C. Seven ternary intermetallic compounds of silver and neodymium have been observed: NdAg 2 Ge 2 , Nd 2 AgGe 6 , NdAg 1.1 Ge 0.9 , Nd 6 Ag 8 (Ge)Sn 8 and NdAgSn(Pb).
