Differential enthalpic analysis gave solidus and liquidus lines of the phase diagram. MgGa melts congruently; Mg₂Ga is a stoichiometric compound; MgGa₂ melts incongruently. The melting enthalpies of all the compounds were measured. A new numerical optimization of the thermodynamic properties was established using the NANCYUN program (Legendre polynomials), with all the known data. A consistent set of values in agreement with all the data (except one) is presented.
