Abstract The composition triangle of the Ni-Mo-Al ternary system contains a monovariant trough between theγ′ (Ni3Al)-α(Mo) pseudobinary eutectic and a guessedγ(Ni)-γ′ (Ni3Al)-α(Mo) ternary eutectic. Alloys with compositions on this trough were directionally solidified at various growth rates. The microstructure of the alloys consists of fine Mo fibres of rectangular cross-section in an Ni3Al/Ni matrix. The determined crystallographic relationship does not correspond to an interface of low lattice mismatch. The eutectic trough strongly extends towards increasing Mo contents so that the volume fraction of the Mo fibres varies between 18 and 25% dependent on composition. It was not possible to determine the position of a ternary eutecticγ-γ′-α because the liquidus temperatures along the trough are almost equal and the distribution of the three phases is strongly dependent on the growth rate.
