Introduction

The literature data up to 1981 are reviewed in [1982Kub]. A subsequent review [1993Kat] covers the literature data up to 1992 (the intermediate review of [1992Rag]). General agreement with earlier data concerning the form of the phase diagram and the number of solid phases was shown. Subsequently, the Al-Fe system has been studied by several techniques over different temperature and composition ranges, which are listed in Table 1. Many of the studies concern details of the B2 and D0₃ ordering and phase equilibria between αFe (A2), FeAl (B2) and Fe₃Al (D03), Table 2. A recent experimental study of the Al-Fe phase diagram performed over the whole composition range is given by [2007Ste...
