report
Bauche et al. [37] measured the enthalpy of dissolution of Ni and Al3 Ni2 in Al bath, and the enthalpy of formation of Al3 Ni2 was derived to be -75.4 kJ/mol-atoms relative to solid Ni and liquid Al at 1073 K.

Chrifi-Alaoui et al. [16] determined the enthalpy of formation of Al3 Ni2 to be -57.9 kJ/mol-atoms relative to fcc Al and fcc Ni at 1073 K, or -54.5 kJ/mol-atoms relative to fcc Al and fcc Ni at 298 K, which is not much higher than that of Kubaschewski [19], -57.7 kJ/mol at 548 K.

Uncertainty budget

Components kept separate, in the value's unit (literature SCHEMA.md, UNCERTAINTY_CALIBRATION.md): effective = max(sqrt(max(printed, reading, method)^2 + composition^2 + conversion^2), scatter). The method floor is the robust between-study scatter of the method class in ORCHID (calibrated) or a documented prior; printed values and printed uncertainties are unchanged.
