Review: Experimental enthalpies of formation of compounds in Al-Ni-X systems

The published experimental enthalpies of formation for compounds in the Al-Ni-X ternary system are reviewed. Most of these experimental data were obtained by either solution calorimetry or high temperature direct synthesis calorimetry. Data for the Al-Ni-Cu compounds determined by the current authors using direct synthesis calorimeter are presented for the first time. C 2006 Springer Science + Business Media, Inc
