β¦ Synopsis
The heat capacity of gold-nickel alloy containing 52 atomic per cent gold has been measured in the temperature region 13' to 300Β°K. The lack of conformity of the data to the Kopp-Neumann rule has been shown. The excess entropy, arising mostly from the change in the vibrational spectrum upon alloy formation, is 0.62,tO.O9 Cal/g-atom/deg at 300Β°K. The data have been analyzed in terms of the simple Debye continuum model.
The values of the thermodynamic functions, entropy, enthalpy and free energy have been evaluated and tabulated at regular intervals of temperature up to 300Β°K for the Au-Ni alloy. The entropy of this material at 29&.16'K is 9.83f0.07
Cal/g-atom/deg, of which 0.10 was obtained by extrapolating below 13Β°K.

The enthalpies of formation at 640Β°C of solid Ni-Cu and Ni-Au alloys have been measured as a function of composition by means of a differential solution calorimeter. Both systems are characterized by positive heats of formation. The conoentration variations of the partial molar heats of solution of
Calorimetric and X-ray diffraction line-broadening measurements were carried out on samples of a 75Au-25Ag (weight per cent) alloy deformed by filing and annealed at various temperatures up to 500Β°C. Stored energy, hardness, subgrain size, local strain, and short-range order determinations were made
