Abstract
AlCu3 alloy was examined with the triple simple thermal analysis (TETA), the simultaneous thermal analysis (STA), the computer simulation using Thermo-Calc program and with the metallographic analyses. The energy of solidification and melting of the primary and the eutectic phase, and the energy of the Al2Cu precipitation were determined, and these can be evidently seen from the curves of simultaneous thermal analysis.
