“…1. It should be noted that all data (mainly EMPA measurements) reported on Laves-phase compositions by [2,3,5,9e11] stem from alloys, which are presenting the Laves phase in equilibrium with gTiAl and with either a 2 (Ti 3 Al) or bTi (or CsCl-type). Thus, these data do not define the maximum solubility of Al in TiMn 2 but rather define the Ti-rich boundary of the Laves-phase field.…”
