Phase relations in the Barium Titanate—Titanium Oxide System

Abstract

Phase relations in the BaTiO 3 —TiO 2 system were studied at temperatures above 1300°C in air. Quenching experiments were performed with high‐purity reagents, and a new equilibrium phase diagram was constructed. Results include redetermination of the liquidus boundaries, the eutectic temperature, the melting or decomposition temperatures of the stable compounds in the system, the cubic—hexagonal transition in BaTiO 3 , and the solid solubility of TiO 2 in BaTiO 3 .
