✦ Synopsis
A high-efficiency diffusion-multiple approach was employed to map the phase diagram of the Nb-Ti-Si ternary system, which is critical for the design of niobium silicide-based composites. These composites have high potential as a replacement for Ni-base superalloys for jet engine applications. Titanium is one of the most important elements for oxidation resistance and fracture toughness enhancement. Three isothermal sections of Nb-Ti-Si at 1000, 1150 and 1200 • C were constructed from the results obtained from diffusion multiples using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). Extremely high solubility of Nb in Ti 5 Si 4 (up to ∼46 at.% Nb at 1200 • C, substituting for Ti) was observed.

The system Ti-Bi-Sn has been investigated by solid/liquid diffusion couples at 500, 600, 700 and 800°C. A non-negligible solubility of Sn into solid Bi is found. Diffusion layers of the recently revealed ternary compound Ti 3 BiSn have been observed, thus its existence has been confirmed. Data about
