Magnetic ordering and phase separation in binary alloys with one magnetic component are studied within the mean field approximation. The influence of ferromagnetic ordering on the phase separation temperature (TCS) is examined in detail. In general it is found that magnetism increases TCS and causes strong asymmetries in the phase diagram. In particular, it is found that in systems with only ferromagnetic interactions, the Curie temperature (TCM) and TCS are the same. Results for the phase diagrams and for the temperature dependence of the magnetic and spatial order parameters are presented.
