Phase equilibria in the system V2O3Ti2O3TiO2 at 1473°K

The phase equilibria in the V₂O₃Ti₂O₃TiO₂ system have been determined at 1473°K by the quench method, using both sealed tubes and controlled gaseous buffers. For the latter, $\text{CO}{}_2\text{H}{}_2$ mixtures were used to vary the oxygen fugacity between 10^?10.50 and 10^?16.73 atm. Under these conditions the equilibrium phases are: a sesquioxide solid solution between V₂O₃ and Ti₂O₃ with complete solid solubility and an upper stoichiometry limit of (V, Ti)₂O_3.02; an M₃O₅ series which has the V₃O₅ type structure between V₂TiO₅ and V_0.69Ti_2.31O₅ and the monoclinic pseudobrookite structure between V_0.42Ti_2.58O₅ and Ti₃O₅; series of Magneli phases, V₂Ti_n?2O_2n?1Ti_nO_2n?1, n = 4–8; and reduced rutile phases (V, Ti)O_2?x, where the lower limit for x is a function of the $\text{V}\text{(V + Ti)}$ ratio. The extent of the different solid solution areas and the location of the oxygen isobars have been determined.
