Abstract

This review serves to call attention to intermetallic compounds as a class of materials of great practical importance in both ancient and modern times and as a fascinating topic of scientific inquiry. Exploration of the relevant metallurgical history illustrates the processes by which both ideas and practical developments evolve and emphasizes that some of the threads may be traced back very far in time. Three general conclusions are drawn from the review: a) The intrinsic properties of intermetallic compounds are truly unique and at present levels of understanding are not predictable from the fundamental parameters of the constituent atoms, b) Successful applications of intermetallics do not result from the mere knowledge of their composition, crystal structure, and intrinsic properties but require as well a skillful and understanding control of their processing, c) There is desirably and necessarily a strong interplay between science and technology in the development of the intermetallic field. The technological opportunity forecast by some unique property measurements stimulates further related scientific investigation. Conversely scientific advances, both those specific to intermetallics and those pertinent to metallurgy more generally, facilitate the rate of reduction to practice of empirical discoveries.

Future trends seen in the further development of intermetallics are: greater appreciation and control of subgrain structure, investigation of compounds of metastable structure, study of compounds with complex chemistry, the use of intermetallics in composites, and new insights to be drawn from data compilations such as NMR and EDS.
