Abstract	The research was conducted for developing melting data for binary combinations of the alkaline earth fluorides and yttria to facilitate the formulation of slag compositions. The present report deals with the CaF2-Y2O3 system for which solidus and liquidus temperatures and solid solubilities were determined. The information is presented as the phase diagram. The peritectic system was found to be pseudobinary due to the formation of yttrium oxyfluoride at temperatures near the liquidus. The peritectic point occurs at 7 mole pct Y2O3 and 1,438 plus or minus 5C. The terminal solid solubility of Y2O3 in CaF2 decreases from 7 mole pct at 1,438C to 1 mole pct at 1,100C, and the solubility of CaF2 in Y2O3 decreases from 9.5 to 7 mole pct over the same temperature interval.
