THE enthalpies of formation at 298.16 K of five alloys closely approaching the composition Cu2MnSn were determined by solution calorimetry with tin as a solvent. The alloys are in the ferromagnetic /3 phase range; their compositions, as well as the maximum range for the ~ phase are shown in Fig. I. This phase is ordered and presents reasonably high magnetizations (up to 660 emu/cm3). The /3 phase decomposes upon cooling below 400~ Alloys were prepared by arc melting. They were homogenized and quenched to retain the B phase at room temperature. The liquid-metal solution calorimeter used in this investigation has been described elsewhere. I At the start of each series of measurements, the solvent bath consisted of about 0.4 g-atom of 99.9+ pet pure Sn. The heat capacity of the calorimeter was determined by two tin drops before each series of experiments. The only heat effect due to a tin drop is the sensible heat of the specimen. The heat content of tin is well established and is presented in the compilation of Hultgren et all T h e c a l c u l a t i o n of t h e e n t h a l p i e s of f o r m a t i o n o
