Thermodynamic assessment of the Au–Ni system

The phase diagram and thermodynamic properties of the Au–Ni system have been assessed from experimental thermodynamic and phase diagram data by means of the CALPHAD method. A consistent set of thermodynamic parameters for each phase was obtained. Good agreement is reached between the calculated and experimental results. The calculated congruent point is 1214.3 K and 42.6 at.% Ni and the critical point of the miscibility gap is 1089.5 K and 73.0 at.% Ni.
