Regularities of the ternary intermetallic compound formation between three transition elements are studied by the pattern recognition–atomic parameter method. The influences of VE, R sp and X MB on the formation of the ternary intermetallic compounds are investigated. The criteria of ternary compound formation in the late transition element-containing systems, early transition element-containing systems, systems containing both the early transition element and late transition element, and the systems containing Mn-group elements are found by pattern recognition methods.
