Ternary solid solution including CaO·Al2O3·2Fe2O3 has been synthesized, and the chemical composition has been determined by electron micro-probe analysis after quenching. The experimental runs were carried out in air. All crystals of the calciumferrite which is called the βT phase hereafter, have grown from melts during the fall of temperature. Results of electron micro-probe analysis show that the chemical composition of the βT phase distributes in a narrow belt which extends nearly parallel to the Al2O3-Fe2O3 side of the CaO-Al2O3-Fe2O3 ternary phase diagram. At 1100°C, the βT phase is stable in the region between 5CaO·xAl2O3·(11-x) Fe2O3 (x=0.59-3.85) and 2CaO·xAl2O3·(5-x) Fe2O3 (x=0.33-1.84).At 1300°C, however, the βT phase is stable on the composition line of CaO·xAl2O3·(3-x) Fe2O3 (x =1.19-2.56). The melting surface and primary phase field of the βT phase have not been determined exactly in the present work. But it was found that a high-Al2O3 part of the βT phase melts incongruently. From the relation between the primary phase field of this solid solution and its chemical composition analyzed in the present work, the phase diagram determined by Dayal and Glasser (1964) should be rechecked.
