Abstract
DTA and isothermal diffusion experiments have been carried out at temperatures up to 727  $^{\circ}$C in the Fe-Al-Si ternary system. in these experiments, we have observed the themal decomposition of the solid ternary compound $\beta$Al 5FeSi ( $\tau$6) into another ternary compound, $\gamma$Al 5Fe 2Si 2 ( $\tau$2), and a liquid. Under the atmospheric pressure, that decomposition of $\beta$Al 5FeSi occurs at temperatures ranging hnn $661 \pm 5$  $^{\circ}$C to $667 \pm 5$  $^{\circ}$C. A polythermal projection combining these new results with previously published data is given to describe the crystallisation of ternary Al-Fe-Si liquid alloys upon slow cooling from 727  $^{\circ}$C.
