Ordered intermetallics constitute a unique class of metallic
materials which may be developed as new-generation materials for
structural use at high temperatures in hostile environments. At
present, there is a worldwide interest in intermetallics, and
extensive efforts have been devoted to intermetallic research and
development in the U.S., Japan, European countries, and other
nations. As a result, significant advances have been made in all
areas of intermetallic research. This NATO Advanced Workshop on
ordered intermetallics (1) reviews the recent progress, and (2)
assesses the future direction of intermetallic research in the
areas of electronic structure and phase stability, deformation and
fracture, and high-temperature properties. The book is divided into
six parts: (1) Electronic Structure and Phase Stability; (2)
Deformation and Dislocation Structures; (3) Ductility and Fracture;
(4) Kinetic Processes and Creep Behavior; (5) Research Programs and
Highlights; and (6) Assessment of Current Research and
Recommendation for Future Work. The first four parts review the
recent advances in the three focus areas. The fifth part provides
highlights of the intermetallic research under major programs and
in different institutes and countries. The last part provides a
forum for the discussion of research areas for future studies.
The 'MRS Proceedings' series is an internationally recognised
reference suitable for researchers and practitioners.
Many advances in research and development have been made since the
first MRS symposium on high-temperature ordered intermetallic
alloys was held in 1984. That conference demonstrated a resurgence
of interest in potential uses of intermetallic alloys for
structural applications. Blossoming research in the field brings us
to this book which has focused specifically on processing and
microstructural control, alloy design, mechanical properties and
industrial applications. Examples of structural applications of the
'mature' intermetallics, TiAl and Ni3Al are also featured. Evidence
also suggests that high-melting-temperature refractory or platinum
group metal-based intermetallics, still in the 'exotic' category,
may yet represent the best potential for a breakthrough in
high-temperature performance. Topics include: processing; titanium
aluminides; creep and fatigue of titanium aluminides; iron
aluminides; nickel aluminides; refractory metal-based and other
intermetallics and composites.
