Al – V (Aluminium – Vanadium)

Literature Data

Most literature up to 1989 is covered by the review of [1989Mur]. Subsequently the system was studied by [2000Ric] using XRD, EPMA, and DTA. Alloys evenly distributed over the composition range up to 50 at.% V were prepared from 99.999 % pure Al and 99.7 % pure V. This work confirmed all phases and crystal structures given in [1989Mur] and their peritectic mode of formation. The temperatures found for these reactions by [2000Ric] (reviewed by [2001Oka]), however, differ considerably from the previous data. Preceding this work several thermodynamic assessments of the system were reported [1989Kau, 1989Mur, 1995Sau, 1998Du] (Table 1...
