Abstract
Thermochemical and phase diagram data in the Fe-Cu system have been critically evaluated by using phenomenological models for the Gibbs energy of various phases. A set of thermodynamic parameters more consistent with most of the selected experimental data than previous assess-ments has been obtained by a computerized least-squares method. Stable and metastable phase equilibria,T 0 curves, and thermodynamic properties are calculated with the optimized param-eters. The calculated liquid/face-centered cubic (fcc)T 0 curve and metastable liquid spinodal seem to permit an accurate prediction of maximum solid solubility obtained upon melt quenching in this system.
