Preparation of Mg2Ni intermetallic compound from nanoparticles

The Mg2Ni intermetallic compound was successfully prepared from magnesium and nickel nanoparticles produced by hydrogen plasma metal reaction. Two preparation methods were developed to obtain the compound. One is heating the nanoparticles under 0.10 MPa argon pressure at 703 K and the other is under 3.00 MPa hydrogen pressure at 553 K.
