ABSTRACT
Using thermal analysis (DTA), processes occurring during the interaction of yttrium fluoride melts with sodium fluoride and potassium chloride, used as a flux in the metallothermic synthesis of the Mg–Y master alloy, were investigated. In addition, to identify patterns of magnesium thermal reduction of yttrium from the salt mixture, thermal studies of the interaction of yttrium and sodium fluoride salt systems and potassium and sodium chlorides with magnesium and zinc were carried out.
