| 1. | Intermetallic compounds are alloys with a defined stoichiometry and crystal structure.
|
| 2. | They are usually based on intermetallic compounds and solid-solution alloys.
|
| 3. | Intermetallic compounds are hard and wear-resistant but brittle.
|
| 4. | This phase was not pure, but intergrown with various intermetallic compounds.
|
| 5. | Heavy Fermions are intermetallic compounds, containing rare earth or actinide elements.
|
| 6. | Formation of brittle intermetallic compounds on the alloy interface can cause joint failure.
|
| 7. | The intermetallic compounds tend to have poor corrosion resistance.
|
| 8. | The metal M in the negative electrode of a NiMH cell is an intermetallic compound.
|
| 9. | Metals which can form intermetallic compounds by an exothermic reaction are another class of candidate materials.
|
| 10. | A heat treatment then causes interdiffusion of the metals and formation of the required intermetallic compound.
