Work was supported by the International Copper Research Association, Inc. (INCRA), and the Department of Energy through the Joint Program on Critical Compilation of Physical and Chemical Data coordinated through the Office of Standard Reference Data (OSRD), National Bureau of Standards. Thermodynamic calculations were done in part with the use of the F*A*C*T computer program, made available to us by Drs. A.D. Pelton, W.T. Thompson, and C.W. Bale of McGill University/Ecole Polytechnique. Literature searched through 1982. Professor Laughlin and Dr. Chakrabarti are the ASM/NBS Data Program Co-Category Editors for binary copper alloys.
