Notes:
"Melt- and transformation lines in dual-systems can be calculated from thermodynamic properties of both components. By using simple laws, it is possible to use test data that will give the highest probability to show the probable position of the equilibrium lines.Available data from literature is calculated in this way.
From the position and shape of lines BC and JE, they concluded that most of the carbon in the melt is dissolved as iron-carbide. Data to come to a conclusion on the molecular state of carbon in austenite is unsufficient.

Die E'S'-Linie ist unsicher, daher nicht eingezeichnet=Line E'S' is not clear and not represented in the diagram.
Zwischen den JE-Linien I und II ist noch durch Verschuchen zu entscheiden.=Further test are needed to decide between JE-line I and II.
