Abstract

X-ray analysis is used to examine the phase composition of pseudoalloys for the first time. The pseudoalloys are formed in the sintering of W, Co, and Sn powders in hydrogen at 1200°C. After cooling, all pseudoalloys contain tungsten (intensive reflections) and W₆Co₇ (weak reflections) phases, γ^’-phases of Co₃Sn₂ , and CoSn₂.
