Publisher's Synopsis
This collection of papers is drawn from the proceedings of an international symposium on structural intermetallics. The book provides a detailed and in-depth perspective of the approaches, results and progress toward the structural application of intermetallic compounds and their composites.;The 66 papers focus on the development of microstructure and alloy compositions to solve the poor ductility and toughness of these intermetallics. Materials covered include: Ti3A1, TiA13 and Ti aluminide compounds; TiA1 alloys; Ni3A1 and iron aluminides; advanced intermetallic compounds; and intermetallic composites. Each of the papers was critically reviewed by a minimum of two reviewers.;The topics covered include: microstructure and mechanical properties of ternary L12 aluminum-rich intermetallics; TiA1 compounds for structural applications; high-temperature deformation and oxidation resistance of NiA1-based intermetallic compounds; phase stability, deformation mechanisms and mechanical properties of Nb-A1-Ti alloys; and processing and mechanical behaviour of SiC/TiA1 composites.
