Abstract

The phase diagram of the thorium-molybdenum alloy system has been determined to be of the eutectic type with a eutectoid reaction associated with the thorium alpha-beta transformation. X-ray, thermal, electrical resistance and metallographic methods have established the eutectic point at 1380 ± 10° C and 7.0 ± 0.5 wt % molybdenum. A eutectoid reaction is proposed at 1358 ± 5° C and less than 0.1 wt % molybdenum. No solubility of thorium in molybdenum was detected at 1325° C.
