Updates on ternary and higher order iron phase diagrams are published regularly in this journal. These brief reviews include new phase diagrams of systems that are investigated for the first time, as well as previously-investigated systems on which additional information or substantial revision of existing data has become available.

This issue carries updates on the ternary systems: B-Co-Fe, B-Er-Fe, B-Fe-V, Fe-La-Si and Fe-Nb-Ti, and the higher-order systems: C-Fe-N-Nb and C-Fe-N-Nb-V.

This work was supported by the Indian Institute of Metals, Calcutta.
