Experimental investigation and thermodynamic modeling of the Nd–Ni system

Phase transformation and cycling characteristics of a Ce2Ni7-type single-phase La0.78Mg0.22Ni3.45 metal hydride alloy

“…8 Unlike the La-Mg-Ni-based alloys, the Nd-Mg-Ni-based alloy still contains some minor phases other than the A 2 B 7 -type phase when annealing at 950 C. This may be attributed to the annealing temperature of 950 C not being high enough for the Nd-Mg-Ni-based alloy due to its higher reaction temperatures as seen in the Nd-Ni phase diagram. 20 Therefore, we can conclude that some single-phase alloys can be prepared by annealing the as-cast alloy under an appropriate annealing condition.…”

Electrochemical Formation of Nd–Ni Alloys in Molten CaCl2–NdCl3

“…Finally, the standard Gibbs energies of formation for each Nd-Ni alloy were calculated from the two-phase coexisting potentials and compared with the reported CALPHAD values. 34…”

Thermodynamic reassessment of the Sm–Ni binary system

“…Huang et al [50,51] revised the RE-rich portions (RE = rare earth) of the Pr-Ni and Nd-Ni systems, and proposed a congruent melting for the Pr 7 Ni 3 phase, whereas for the Nd 7 Ni 3 they proposed a peritectic formation, giving an indication of a progressive different formation behaviour of this phase as a function of the R atomic number. Our present results confirm these data and the proposed peritectic formation of the Sm 7 Ni 3 .…”
