The pseudo-binary phase diagrams in the Cu-O-Si system in equilibrium with air and metallic copper have been constructed. Equilibration at high temperature in an appropriate containment material, followed by rapid quenching and measurement of phase compositions using an electron probe x-ray microanalysis (EPMA) technique, was carried out to obtain the phase equilibria data. The investigation has been extended to characterize the effects of CaO, MgO, Al2O3, and “Fe2O3” on the liquidus isotherms of tridymite in equilibrium with metallic copper at temperatures of 1473 K and 1573 K (1200 °C and 1300 °C).
