Determination of the primary solidification area of the icosahedral phase in the ternary phase diagram of Zn-Mg-Y

Abstract

We present the results of our research on the ternary phase diagram of the Zn-Mg-Y system. We focus on the liquidus surface which is relevant for the preparation of the icosahedral phase. Two sections of the phase diagram and the primary crystallization area of the icosahedral phase have been determined.
