Abstract
We present here some observed data on 11 mildly metal-poor stars with -1.3 less than or equal to [Fe/H] less than or equal to -0.6. The model paramete rs and the abundances of 14 elements are determined. We also discuss the re lation between the abundance ratio and the metallicity. The or elements (Mg , Si, Ca, Ti) are overabundant relative to Fe with a varying scatter at eac h given metallicity. Most of the iron-peak elements (V, Cr, Ni, Cu) are als o overabundant relative to Fe by amounts that are independent of [Fe/H], wh ile [Mn/Fe] increases with increasing metallicity. [Na/Al] is overabundant in the sample with [Fe/H]> -1.1 and definitely overdeficient in the sample with [Fe/H]< -1.1.
