The equilibrium phase diagrams of Al–Cr, Al–Zr, and Al–Cr-Zr, with particular reference to aluminium-rich alloys, have been critically reviewed. On the basis of these, and consistent with measured thermodynamic values, the binary systems have been thermodynamically characterized. Using these characterizations, phase equilibria have been extrapolated in the ternary, with the intention of augmenting the sparse experimental information concerning the equilibrium liquidus (0–10 at.%Cr, Zr) and solid solution range of aluminium in Al–Cr–Zr. Using the same parameters that define the equilibrium phase relationships, metastable phase relationships can also be extrapolated into the ternary.
