Thermodynamic properties of some solid nickel-indium alloys

Prediction and thermodynamic analysis of In-activities of In–Ni alloys

“…3. Comparison with also depicted experimental results of three other studies [7,8,11] available for 1000 K confirms the discrepancies stated in Ref. [3] at higher indium contents.…”

“…3 demonstrates that the data of Ref. [3] is satisfactory in line with the three other independent studies [7,8,11] for 1000 K across several phase fields at higher indium contents. Consequently the discrepancy stated in Ref.…”

“…4 contains all log( p In /bar)-values of the fifth column of Tables 2ae2d which are based on re-evaluated In-activities of the fourth column. Data of other experimental studies for 1000 K [7,8,11], 1050 K [6] together with experimental data for 1250 and 1350 K related to the liquid phase [9,11] are also shown. It can be seen that agreement with predictions of this study at the corresponding temperatures is very satisfactory.…”

“…4 reveals discrepancies between experimental data at low indium mole fractions. Experimental In-activities are provided for the one phase field fcc (Ni solid solution) [6,10] and for the adjacent two phase fields fcc þ Ni 3 In at 1000 and 1050 K [3,8], fcc þ z-Ni 2 In at 1150 K [3] and fcc þ liquid at 1248 K [9]. Fig.…”

“…[10] are not consistent with those from Refs. [3,6,8,9,10]. The calculated lines using Gibbs energy modeling of Refs.…”
