Abstract
THE most important system in present-day high-temperature technology is Al2O3-SiO2. The accepted equilibrium diagram for this system was determined in a classic investigation by Bowen and Greig1; but during the last few years several workers have questioned its correctness2–6. The data offered in criticism have not, however, been unequivocal themselves. We summarize briefly here the data from some 700 runs in a nearly two-year re-examination of the Al2O3-SiO2-H2O system by standard ‘quenching’ methods of studying silicate phase equilibria.
