Abstract :
Thermodynamic description of the ternary Cu---Al---Fe system at the Cu---Fe side is presented. The thermodynamic parameters of the sub-systems, Cu---Al, Cu---Fe and Al---Fe, are taken from earlier SGTE-based assessments, and those of the ternary Cu---Al---Fe system are optimized in this study by using the experimental phase equilibrium data. The present ternary description is valid for aluminum contents up to 18 wt%.
