Abstract
Al-rich portion of the Ir–Al phase diagram has been investigated with 10 alloys by means of differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, inductivity coupled plasma spectrometry and electron probe microanalysis. Invariant reactions are observed: L ↔ AlIr + Al 2.7Ir, L + Al 2.7Ir ↔ Al 3Ir, L + Al 3Ir ↔ Al 13Ir 4, L + Al 13Ir 4 ↔ Al 9Ir 2. Although the eutectic reaction, L ↔ AlIr + Al 2.7Ir, cannot be regarded as definitely established by previous research, it is confirmed in the present research. Liquidus curve has been determined for the first time for Al-rich alloy (Ir ≤ 33.0 at%). The Ir–Al binary phase diagram has been modified based on these experimental observations.
