Figure 5 presents the calculated liquidus surface of the Al-Cu-Mg system. The<br />

liquidus isotherms at HOOK, 1000 K, 900 K and 800 K are indicated by the<br />

<strong>da</strong>shed contours.<br />

Figure 6 shows the calculated and experimental isopleth at 70 wt.% Al. The<br />

experimental liquidus is well reproduced by the calculations.<br />

2.2 The Al-Cu-Si system<br />

The liquidus surface of the ternary system has been calculated using the<br />

thermodynamic evaluations of the binary sub-systems. The calculations are in<br />

reasonable agreement with the experimental liquidus <strong>da</strong>ta of [36His], [34Mat]<br />

and [53Phi], which are located in the central part of the phase diagram<br />

(T=1073, 973 and 873 K in Figure 7). Isopleth sections at 4 wt.% Cu, 1 wt.%<br />

Si and 2 wt.% Cu are presented in Figures 8-10 and compared with the<br />

experimental <strong>da</strong>ta of [53Phi] and [90Kuz2].<br />

2.3 The Al-Cu-Zn system<br />

Only the Al-rich corner of the ternary system Al-Cu-Zn has been preliminarily<br />

assessed. This limitation is due to the problems in finding a suitable model for<br />

the so-called γ-phase. This phase extends between the γ-phase in the Al-Cu<br />

binary and the similarly named γ-phase in the Cu-Zn binary. The experimental<br />

results indicate complete solubility for the entire composition range between<br />

the phases. Nevertheless, the structures of the two binary phases are different<br />
