Abstract

The experimental information on the solid state phase equilibria in the Fe−Mn−C system was analyzed in thermodynamic terms. Gibbs free energy of each phase was described by a regular or subregular solution model and the numerical values of the parameters were determined. The results were used to calculate isothermal sections between 873 and 1373 K. They show a reasonable agreement with all the experimental information available.
