Abstract
The solubility product for NbC0.87 has been experimentally determined between 950° and 1250 °C by gas equilibration and extraction methods. The new relation log10[pct Nb] [pct C]0.87 = 3.4 − 7920/T on a weight percent basis has been evaluated from the data. This is in good agreement with a compendium of measurements from the literature. The data do not yet justify an analysis which takes account of a variable stoichiometry.
