Abstract: The 700℃ isothermal section of the Pd-Ru-Gd partial ternary phase diagram containing more palladium than ruthenium was determined by X-rag diffraction analysis and optical microscopy. The section consists of seven single-phase regions,eleven two-phase regions and five three-phase regions. A new ternary compound Pd2RuGd2,which exhibits a tetragonal structure with a=0.7492 nm and c=0.7445 nm, has been found.

Key words: palladium, ruthenium, gadolinium, phase diagram, Pd-Ru-Gd ternary sgstem
