The Ce-Ni phase diagram in [Massalski2] was adopted from [1991Nas]. [2005Oka] updated this phase diagram according to the thermodynamic evaluation by [2004Du]. Six intermetallic phases existing in this system were treated as line compounds.

[2007Xio] noticed that the CeNi5 phase has a measurable homogeneity range according to [1994Kim]. [2007Xio] confirmed this observation experimentally and calculated the Ce-Ni phase diagram, as shown in Fig. 1. (The range below 200 °C was added by this evaluator.)

Ce-Ni phase diagram

Earlier, [2004Pal] also calculated the Ce-Ni phase diagram, but the CeNi5 phase was treated as a line compound.
