The solubility of components in a series of selected binary intermetallic systems has been modelled with the same formalism. The following binary systems have been considered: Au--Ag, Cu--Ni, Cr--Fe, Cd--Mg, Ag--Cu, Ag--Pb, Cd--Zn, Cu--Pb, Cr--Mo, Cr--W. They have been chosen because the have simple phase diagrams and lack intermediate phases, which could not be studied within the model. In all cases, the crystalline structures of both pure alloying components were the same. The results of the calculations have been compared with the experimental alloy phase diagrams presented. In most cases, a satisfactory agreement between the model and experimental data has been achieved. 12 ref.--AA
