Nicolas Armanet talking of alpha-beta transition in Pd discussed Ni during RNBE2016. Ag in Pd alloy reduce one transition temperature in the alpha-beta phase curve. Ther is an equivalent for Ni, but I don't remember if it is Mn or Mg...
I noticed also that constantan contain Ni, Cu, but also one of Mn or Mg (forgot which again)... I've discussed on LENR forum when talking of RNBE2016... 2017-06-14 0:34 GMT+02:00 Jones Beene <[email protected]>: > Much has been said about Type A palladium and its special reactivity with > hydrogen, some of which is due to the alloy being one fourth silver.
