a b s t r a c tThe phase equilibria of the Co-Ta-Ti system at 950 • C were investigated via a combination of diffusion couples and equilibrated alloys. The samples were examined by means of optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and electron probe microanalysis. The experimental results showed the existence of no ternary compounds at 950 • C. Two continuous series of solid solutions form between ␥-TaCo 2 and TiCo 2 (h), and between -TaCo 2 and TiCo 2 (c), respectively. The 950 • C isothermal section consists of 10 single-phase regions, 15 binary phase regions and 6 ternary phase regions. The following six three-phase equilibria at 950 • C were well determined: (1) (Co) +
