The phase equilibria of the V–Fe–Sn and V–Ni–Sn ternary systems at 873 K and 773 K, respectively, were studied in the whole concentration range, using X-ray diffraction and metallographic analysis. The V–Fe–Sn ternary system at 873 K is characterized by the formation of two ternary intermetallic compounds, VFe₂Sn (MnCu₂Al-type, space group Fm-3m, a = 0.59641(3) nm) and (V,Fe)Sn₂ (Mg₂Ni-type, space group P6₂22, a = 0.5441(1)-0.5437(1), c = 1.3852(2)-1.3769(5) nm). In the V–Ni–Sn system at 773 K only one ternary compound, VNi₂Sn (MnCu₂Al-type, a = 0.6031(1) nm), was observed. Electrical resistivity and thermopower were measured for the (V,Fe)Sn₂ compound in the temperature range 80-380 K. The compound shows metallic type of conductivity in the investigated temperature range.
