Wang et al.[1] reported that minor addition of Be in the as-cast Al-11Si-0.3 Mg alloy (wt.%) causes faster precipitation and more heat effect of metastable β than the alloy without addition of Be and considerably increases the peak hardness achieved during as-cast aging. Both Yin et al.[2] and Yie et al.[3] have found that the addition of Be into commercial Al alloys, such as Al-4.93 Si-1.4 Fe-0.63 Mg-1.45 Cu [2] and Al-11.1 Si-1.03 Fe-0.08 Ti alloys [3], is beneficial for the transformation of the needleshaped iron-rich phase into the Chinese scripts. It is generally believed that the needle-shaped iron-rich phase is harmful to the strength and ductility of materials. The influence of Be addition on the quasicrystal-forming ability in Al-based alloys, such as alloys in the Al–Cu–Fe and Al–Mn systems, has been investigated [4]. It was found that Be addition modified the icosahedral phase (i-phase) formation mechanism from peritectic reaction to primary solidification and resulted in the increase of the volume fraction for the i-phase [4]. In addition, the substitution of Al by Be was found to reduce significantly the critical Mn content and cooling rate necessary for the formation of i-phase [4]. Chen et al.[5] demonstrated that the partial substitution of Al by Si in Al80Mn20 (at.%) binary alloy completely suppresses the formation of a pentagonal quasicrystalline T-phase and drastically modifies the microstructure of the i-phase. Consequently, knowledge of the phase diagram and thermodynamic properties in the Be–Si system is of fundamental importance for guiding the design and processing of Al-based quasi-crystal materials and multi-component commercial Al alloys.The phase relationship in the Be–Si system has been subjected to several investigations [6–10]. This binary phase diagram was shown to be a simple eutectic one. Masing and Dahl [6] are responsible for the major contribution to the establishment of the Be–Si phase diagram. By means of thermal analysis technique, they [6] measured the phase transition temperatures for four bi-
