Abstract

The high-temperature phase equilibria for the MgO-Nb2O5-TiO2 system have been determined in air and at 1 atm O2. Three isothermal sections, namely 1450°, 1350°, and 1250°C, were determined experimentally. From this, the 1000°C isothermal section was deduced by extrapolation. Throughout each diagram, most compounds were found to have an extended range of solubility, each exhibiting the same substitutional pattern of the combination 13(MgNb2)4+ replacing Ti4+. Furthermore, entropic stabilization because of cation mixing is evident for all phases except for the columbite solid solution, in which case the solid solution range decreased with increasing temperature.
