Abstract
A revised calculation of the Ni-Nb (nickel-niobium) phase diagram includes realistic enthalpy of formation values for the intermetallic phases that compare with experimental values, a more accurate crystallographic description of the μ phase, and a better fit to the experimentally determined invariant equilibrium temperatures and liquidus-solidus boundaries between liquid and (Ni). The set of parameters describing the Gibbs energy of each phase is given.
