The enthalpy of formation of NiAl.

Rongxiang Hu; Philip Nash

The article informs that NiAl and NiAl based ternary metallic systems have attracted much attention in recent years for potential use as high temperature structural materials. Alloy development of such systems requires a thorough knowledge of the phase equilibria and thermodynamics of the systems. Using high temperature calorimeters, the enthalpies of formation for many alloy systems have been measured and the results incorporated into thermodynamic databases for modeling of their phase diagrams using softwares. However, there exists some confusion regarding the value for the enthalpy of formation of NiAl.
