Abstract: Lattice stability of Be is estimated,and interaction parameters for the liquids in the Al-Be and Be-Si systems are obtained using phase dia- gram data from literatures.Using the obtained parameters and the lattice stabilities of Al and Si given in the literatures,the Al-Be and Be-Si phase diagrams are calculated.By means of Kohler's for- mula the Gibbs energy for the liquid phase in the Al-Be-Si ternary system is extrapolated.The calcu- lation shows that no excess ternary term is necessa- ry for the thermodynamic description of the system. The liquidus projection,isothermal section at 1273 K,as well as vertical sections at 94 and 88 wt-% Al and 2 wt-% Be are calculated.The calcu- lated results are in reasonable agreement with the experimental data available.
