The study of the phase diagram for the system YF3-PbF2 was made to use the mixed fused salt as a flux of oxides. By the differential thermal analysis and the X-ray diffraction, it was recognized that solid solutions existed over all ranges of composition in this binary system.
Pb2+ might be substituted by Y3+. At 40 mol% YF3, the liquidus point was 930°C, and the solidus point 890°C. The lattice constants of solid solutions were obtained by the X-ray diffraction.
