Abstract
Solid solutions of the quaternary borocarbide system YRh3BxC1-x have been synthesized and studied from the viewpoints of their microhardness and oxidation resistance. Perovskite-type YRh3B and YRh3C form a continuous solid solution in the range of 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 with a cubic structure (space group: Pm3̄m, Z = 1). The microhardness of YRh3BxC1-x increases with increasing boron content. The oxidation onset temperature also increases with boron content. Thus, it is indicated that the chemical stability of solid-solution YRh3BxC1-x is strongly dependent on the boron content.
