A critical thermodynamic evaluation of the system Mg-Ni

Within the framework of COST Action 507 a critical thermodynamic analysis h as been carried out of the system Mg-Ni. All thermodynamic data obtained in this action and existing data reported in the literature are described by the thermodynamic analysis. This thermodynamic evaluation is valid between 300 K and 1728 K (the melting temperature of Ni) and for the complete compo sition range. The purpose of the evaluation is to establish a firm basis fo r the thermodynamic description of the ternary system Cu-Mg-Ni.
