The phase relations in the system CaO-Al 2 O 3 -Y 2 O 3 at 1400 and 1500°C have been determined. The phase relations presented are in agreement with the calculated phase diagram by Udalov et al. (Russ. J. Inorg. Chem., 1979, 24(10), p 1549-1553). In addition ternary solid solution series of the binary compounds YAM (Y 4 Al 2 O 9 ), YAP (YAlO 3 ), and YAG (Y 3 Al 5 O 12 ) could be described.
