Abstract

In the course of a systematic study of binary transition metal alloys, the enthalpies of formation of five Hf-Ni compounds were measured by direct reaction calorimetry: Hf0.17Ni0.83(l/6HfNi5): ΔfH(1323 K) = − 37,000 J/mole of atoms (±3200) Hf0.22Ni0.781/9Hf2Ni7): Δf(1623 K) = −50,700 J/mole of atoms (±2000) Hf0.45Ni0.55(l/2OHf9Ni11): ΔfH(1473 K) = −54,500 J/mole of atoms (±2200) Hf0.50Ni0.50(l/2HfNi): ΔfH(1573 K) = −47,900 J/mole of atoms (±1800) Hf0.67Ni0.33(l/3Hf2Ni): ΔH(1423 K) = −36,700 J/mole of atoms (±1300) with reference to pure metals in their equilibrium states at the reaction temperatures. The Ni-rich Hf-Ni liquid was also studied by the dissolution of Hf in the liquid alloy of variable composition at 1743 and 1633 K. Results show that the enthalpy of formation of the liquid at a given composition depends strongly on temperature, and this point suggests the existence of associations in the liquid. The melting temperature of Hf0.22Ni0.78(Hf2Ni7) which was found (1705 K) is slightly lower than the one (1743 K) given in the literature.
