The phase diagram for the CuO-rich part of the La[sub 2]O[sub 3]-CuO join was redetermined. La[sub 2]Cu[sub 2]O[sub 5] was found to have a lower limit of stability at 1,002 [+-] 5 C and an incongruent melting temperature of [approximately] 1,035 C. La[sub 8]Cu[sub 7]O[sub 19] had both a lower (1,012 [+-] 5 C) and an upper (1,027 [+-] 5 C) limit of stability. Subsolidus phase relations were studied in the La[sub 2]O[sub 3]-CuO-CaO system at 1,000, 1,020, and 1050 C in air. Two ternary phases, La[sub 1.9]Ca[sub 1.1]Cu[sub 2]O[sub 5.9] and LaCa[sub 2]Cu[sub 5]O[sub 8.6], were stable at these temperatures, with three binary phases, Ca[sub 2]CuO[sub 3], CaCu[sub 2]O[sub 3], and La[sub 2]CuO[sub 4]. La[sub 2]Cu[sub 2]O[sub 5] and La[sub 8]Cu[sub 7]O[sub 19] were stable only at 1,020 C, and did not support solid-solution formation.
