Thermodynamic properties of Mg-Pd liquid alloys

Abstract This paper presents the first integral mixing enthalpies of Mg-Pd liquid alloys obtained with the use of a drop calorimeter (Setaram MHTC 96 Line Evo). The measurements for this binary system were carried out at 990 K and 1031 K, up to a maximum Pd content of approximately xPd = 0.25. All obtained values were negative under the tested conditions and the examined concentration range. The experimental data of the liquid Mg-Pd solutions were elaborated by the Redlich-Kister equation.
