Introduction

Phase equilibria in the Fe-La-Si system are not well known: one of the boundary binary phase diagrams (La-Si) is not reported in literature and, in the ternary, only one isothermal section [1972Bod] and one sub-solidus section [1996Lia] have been experimentally investigated. A summary of the experimental works carried out on crystal structures, phase equilibria and thermodynamics is reported in Table 1.
