16 15 6. Summary The CALPHAD description of Fe-Mn-C system is updated with a modified the description of Fe 3 C phase by the present authors, recently published reassessment of the Fe Mn system by Witusiewicz et al. and the reassessment of the Mn C system by the present authors. A consistent thermodynamic description of the entire Fe Mn C system has been obtained by considering ab initio calculatied enthalpies of formation of metastable carbides together with critically assessed literature data by Huang. The reevalution of the phase equilibria and thermodynamic functions leads to better fits to the available experimental data at lower temperatures.
