ABSTRACT
New thermodynamic information on Mg Pd alloys has been obtained in the Mg-rich part by using a hightemperature direct drop calorimeter and a high sensitive Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC). The calorimetric results have been validated by X-ray Powder Diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscopy coupled with Electron Probe Microanalysis analyses. The following values (kJ*mol-atom 1) of the enthalpy of formation at 27 C were obtained: -(28.2 +- 1) for Mg6Pd and -(39.5 +- 2.8) for Mg5Pd2 intermetallic phases. DSC has been employed to determine the transformation temperatures in the Mg-rich region: the congruent melting behaviour of the Mg6Pd and Mg5Pd2 phases was confirmed at a temperature of (568 +- 1) C and (691 +- 1) C, respectively and for the Lcents(Mg) + Mg6Pd eutectic reaction, a temperature of (530 +- 1) C was measured. In addition, a melting enthalpy of DfusH = (7.4 +- 0.1) kJ*mol-atom 1 and of (8.3 +- 0.1) kJ*mol-atom 1 for Mg6Pd and Mg5Pd2, respectively, was obtained.
