Melting Curve and Phase Relations of Fe‐Ni Alloys: Implications for the Earth's Core Composition

Abstract Nickel is the second most abundant element in the Earth's core. However, the properties of Fe‐Ni alloys are still poorly constrained under planetary cores conditions, in particular concerning the effect of Ni on the melting curve of Fe. Here we show that Ni alloying up to 36 wt% does n...
