All boundary systems of the Zr–Mo–Pd system show at least one eutectic. This indicates the existence of low melting temperature (∼1000°C) eutectic alloys in this ternary system, and is therefore directly related to the possibility of glass formation. Some amorphous and microcrystalline ternary samples were prepared via rapid solidification (∼106 K s−1 ) in a splat cooling apparatus with a radio frequency levitation coil and a high velocity two piston arrangement driven by solenoids. To obtain the starting material, homogeneous Zr–Mo–Pd samples of differing composition were prepared via arc melting techniques. Some amorphous alloys have also been obtained in the Zr–Pd–(Si,B) systems.
