Abstract
Department of Chemistry, Center for Materials Science and Nanotechnology, University of Oslo, PO Box 1033 Blindern, N-0315 Oslo, Norway Email: kirill.yusenko@smn.uio.no The experimental data on the binary metallic iridiumrhenium system available to date are inconsistent. The present work summarises recent experimental data on the Ir-Re system with the aim of allowing the correct solidus parts of the equilibrium phase diagram to be constructed. The examination of data obtained by different synthetic methods and thermodynamic calculations has revealed that the maximum solidphase solubilities at 2000oC of Re in Ir and Ir in Re are 20 at% and 68 at%, respectively. The binary phase diagram proposed in this paper serves as a reliable model for representing the available experimental data.
