Abstract

The kinetics of the reaction A(s) + 2B (s) =AB 2(s) was studied by differential thermal analy sis. TheA component was Pr, Gd, Dy or Er, theB was Fe, Co, or Ni and the resultingAB 2 compound was a MgCu2 Laves intermetallic compound. A generalized search method to de termine the reaction mechanism was developed and applied to the above reactions. The re actions were found to be diffusion controlled and the kinetics best described by the Valensi-Carter equation.
