Be-Nb (Beryllium-Niobium) H. Okamoto and L.E. Tanner The assessed phase diagram for the Be-Nb system is based primarily on the liquidus boundaries proposed by [60Kri] (for the range 0 to 50 at.% Nb) and the invariant temperatures reported by [68Ray], with review of the experimental data of [60Gel], [63Arz], and [76Ana]. However, the phase relations proposed in this evaluation differ significantly from both [60Kri] and [68Ray]. The initial slope of the L/[L + (Nb)] liquidus in the assessed diagram is estimated from the [L + (Nb)]/(Nb) solidus slope. Six stable intermediate phases have been reliably established: (1) Be12Nb ( Mn12Th type); (2) Be17Nb2 (proto-type); (3) Be5Nb (CaCu5 type); (4) Be3Nb ( prototype); (5) Be2Nb (Cu2Mg type); and (6) Be2Nb3 (Si2U3 type). The value given by [60Kri] for the melting point of Be12Nb is shown as the L + Be17Nb2 = Be12Nb peritectic temperature in the assessed diagram. The assessed congruent melting point of Be17Nb2 is 1800 с 50 C [60Kri]. The melting point of Be2Nb3 [60Zal] is controversial. [60Kri] reported that the liquidus within this composition range (between ~50 to 80 at.% Nb) was uncertain. More reliable results were obtained by [68Ray], and their pro-posed diagram for the range ~50 to 100 at.% Nb is adopted in the assessed diagram. The melting point of bBe and the bBe = aBe allotropic transformation temperature are 1289 с 5 and 1270 с 6 C, respectively [Melt]. The melting point of Nb is 2469 C [Melt]. [50Kau] reported that a 1.1 at.% Nb alloy as cooled from the melt was two phase. From the study of a series of Be-transition metal systems, [80Tan] pre-dicted the possible existence of a stable or metastable phase, BeNb, with either the CsCl-type or CrB-type crystal structure. The existence of Be19Nb2 was suggested by [64Sto] and [65Bea], between Be12Nb and Be17Nb2, and with a melting point of ~1700 C. [61CEN] reported that Be19Nb2 would be commercially available as a high-temperature- and oxidation- resistant compound. No subsequent reports re-garding this phase are available. Another phase, with a fcc structure, was found by [60Kri] and [60Zal], always in the presence of Be2Nb3. It may be a stable binary phase, but more likely is stabilized by an oxygen and/or nitrogen impurity (e.g., an h phase as found recently in Be-Ti alloys [79Gie]. 50Kau: A.R. Kaufmann, P.
