Phase equilibria in the Ni-Zn-Ge ternary system at 570Â K

The isothermal section of the Ni-Zn-Ge phase diagram at 570 K has been built by means of X-ray powder analysis, metallographic analysis, scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis and differential thermal analysis. A new ternary compound, the Ni3Zn0.35Ge0.65 with TiAl3 structure type, has been found at this temperature.
