The phase boundaries of the C-Cr-Nb-Ni-W system are calculated from the available thermodynamic properties of the limiting binary systems. The methods of calculation and the models used in the description of the ternary and quaternary systems are presented as well as the influence of tungsten on the solubility of the M23C6 phase in the nickel rich alloys.
