Ni-Yb (Nickel-Ytterbium)

The assessed Ni-Yb phase diagram is based primarily on [73Pal], with review of
the data of [72Bus]. The existence of five intermediate phases-NiYb, Ni2Yb,
Ni3Yb, Ni5Yb, and Ni17Yb2-has been established, as well as very restricted
terminal solid solubilities. A region of liquid immiscibility has been found
for Yb-rich alloys, although its extent has not been determined other than at
the monotectic temperature (1025 C), where it extends from 54 to 91 at.%
Yb.
The measured melting point and bcc = fcc transformation temperature for
elemental Yb used by [73Pal] were 825 and 740 C, which indicate the presence
of impurities in their Yb starting material. This presents a problem in
evaluating the [73Pal] diagram. If it is assumed that the form of the diagram
of [73Pal] at the Yb-rich end is correct, then little more can be said than
that the eutectic temperature lies between 819 and 795 C. For the purpose
of drawing the assessed diagram, the eutectic temperature has been taken as
805 C, and the (gYb) = (bYb) + NiYb eutectoid temperature as 794 C.
[73Pal] determined the monotectic temperature as 1025 C and reported the
miscibility gap to extend from 54 to 91 at.% Yb. The miscibility gap
phase boundary was not determined.
The data between 0 and 25 at.% Yb should be viewed with some caution (
particularly liquidus data), because it is likely that Mo contaminated the
alloys. However, in the absence of any other data, the results of [73Pal] have
been used to construct the assessed diagram.
Attempts to produce a single-phase Ni7Yb2 alloy (a phase commonly observed in
RE-Ni systems) were unsuccessful. However, X-ray lines were observed that
belonged to a hexagonal phase with a large c/a ratio. This result is similar
to that observed in the Er-Ni system and was confirmed by [73Pal]. [72Bus]
suggested that the stability of the Ni7RE2 phase depends on the size of the RE
element, becoming unstable when the RE element becomes too small. To check
this, [72Bus] investigated the alloy composition Lu2Ni7 and found that no
phase with that composition exists, supporting the proposed theory. Thus, the
stability of Ni7Yb2 remains questionable, and it has not been included in the
assessed diagram.
[73Pal] indicated a transformation in NiYb at 1000 C. [72Bus] and [73Pal]
concluded from their work that no Ni-Yb intermediate phases are formed with
compositions greater than 50 at.% Yb. This is explained on the basis that Yb
is divalent at Yb-rich compositions and trivalent for Ni-rich compositions.
The magnetic properties of several Ni-Yb intermediate phases were studied
experimentally by [62Nes], [63Ble1], [67Now], [68Car], [73Now], and [77Kla]
and theoretically by [63Ble2].
