A consistent set of thermodynamic functions for the Nd-Ni system has b
een obtained by means of the CALPHAD technique applied to the experime
ntal phase diagram and thermodynamic data The liquid phase is describe
d by the substitutional solution model. All of the compounds (Nd3Ni, N
d7Ni3, NdNi, NdNi2, NdNi3, Nd2Ni7, NdNi5, and Nd2Ni17) have been treat
ed as stoichiometric compounds. The calculated phase diagram and therm
odynamic quantities agree with the experimental values.
