The phase equilibria in Al-rich corner of the Al-Zn-Ti ternary system at 400 °C were determined by means of optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). The results showed that this section consisted of three ternary-phase regions, namely, L+(Al)+τ, Ti2Al5+τ+(Al) and Ti2Al5+TiAl3+(Al). The XRD patterns and EDS confirmed that a Ti2Al5-structured phase with containing 4 at.% Zn was stable at 400 °C. Furthermore, the ternary new phase (τ phase) was identified in samples and in equilibrium with (Al), Ti2Al5 and liquid, respectively.
