Abstract
The 1200°C isothermal sections of the following ternary phase diagrams were investigated: Cr-Co-Ni, Cr-Co-Fe, Cr-Co-Mo, and Cr-Ni-Mo. In all these systems the σ phase was found to form extended solid solutions. Two new ternary phases of unknown structure were identified. The existence range of intermediate phases of transition elements was correlated with 3d electron vacancy concentrations.
