Abstract
The 600 °C isothermal section of the Zn-Al-La ternary system was experimentally determined using scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and equilibrated alloy method. The results indicate that nine three-phase regions have been identified in the Zn-Al-La ternary system at 600 °C. No new ternary compound was found in the system. La-Zn and La-Al compounds can dissolve a certain amount of Al and Zn, respectively. The solubility of Al in LaZn, LaZn5 and La3Zn22 phases is 18.6, 2.6 and 9.0 at.%, respectively, and the solubility of Al in La2Zn17 and LaZn11 phases is 17.1 and 6.3 at.%, respectively. The solubility of Zn in Al4La5, AlLa, Al2La and Al3La phases is 7.8, 7.8, 25.3 and 15.2 at.%, respectively. The ternary compound Zn2Al2La has a larger composition range, and its chemical composition can be roughly expressed as La (ZnxAl1−x)4 (0.2875 ≤ x ≤ 0.6875).
