	Intermetallics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Intermetallics are alloys of two or more metals in a certain proportion, thereby forming a new chemical compound.
		Intermetallics is the short summarizing designation for such intermetallic phases and compounds, i.e.
		Intermetallics of aluminium and gold are a significant cause of wire bond failures in semiconductor devices and other microelectronics devices.

	Physical And Mechanical Properties Of Intermetallic Compounds Commonly Found In Solder Joints
		All three intermetallics were studied by the van der Pauw method [19] and the Cu Sn was also studied by an eddy current method [20].
		The temperature dependencies of the hardnesses of the three intermetallics are shown in figure 3a, b, and c.
		The modulus of the intermetallic was determined from the change in resonant frequency of the beam due to the deposited layer.

	Empfasis - Intermetallics in Electronic Soldering
		Intermetallics are necessary, but can result in embrittled joints and unsolderable components or circuit boards.
		Ag-Sn-Cd intermetallics are formed at the joint/pad or joint/lead interface that acts as a diffusion barrier to the copper.
		The time needed for the intermetallic to overcome the surface finish is dependent on the thickness of the coating and the storage atmosphere.

		Ordered intermetallic alloys have been known for a very long time, but their impact on the metallurgical community has been relatively unremarkable, however that is now changing.
		A brief investigation has indicated that HVOF coatings of intermetallic alloys can be remelted by several processes, eg TIG and electron beam, and this leads to fully dense, oxide-free coatings which are fully bonded to the substrate.
		Although the alloys may have restricted ductilities at ambient temperatures, they are in general quite ductile at the high temperatures at which a friction surfacing layer is deposited.

		This technology removes anodic and cathodic intermetallics and is significantly faster than other methods to pretreat copper-aluminum alloys (3 minutes compared to the 30 minutes required by other methods).
		Efforts to seal these intermetallics from the corrosive environment are not effective; therefore, the intermetallics must be removed from the surface of the aluminum alloy.
		Although developed for the removal of copper-rich intermetallics on Al 2024 alloys, this process might be able to remove all intermetallics that contain an electrochemical character different from the bulk matrix.

		The synthesis and characterization of crystalline organic-inorganic hybrid materials is motivated by the expectation that one can modulate and design crystalline hybrid materials that combine (synergism) or enhance properties associated with the functional inorganic and organic components.
		The underdeveloped chemistry of intermetallics and their unpredictable phase stabilities offers a serious challenge to solid state chemists.
		Our work on intermetallics, using careful synthesis and characterization, and the application of viable theoretical models, is part of the overall attempt to understand the structure-property-chemical bonding relationships in solid materials.

	Research Activites for Marc De Graef
		Reliable performance of intermetallics in future aircraft propulsion and space vehicle systems will require that these levels of ductility be achieved reproducibly.
		The overall objective of the proposed research is to examine a number of fundamental issues that limit straining and contribute to property variability in intermetallic systems that have some intrinsic capacity for plastic deformation.
		Of specific interest are the differences in plastic strain accumulation in systems with greater than and less than 5 independent slip systems, the role of grain size, and the role of slip homogeneity in systems with and without chemical segregation.

	Ductile intermetallic compounds discovered
		Although these compounds possess chemical, physical, electrical, magnetic, and mechanical properties that are often superior to ordinary metals, their potential has gone untapped because they are typically quite brittle at room temperature.
		Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory at Iowa State University have discovered a number of rare earth intermetallic compounds that are ductile at room temperature.
		Because these energies are lower in the ductile materials, it is easier for them to plastically deform instead of fracturing at the grain boundaries.

	Multiple-Scattering Calculations of XANES for Uranium Oxides and Intermetallics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Calculations for uranium intermetallics (e.g., UCu _5, UIn _3, UAl _2, and UAs) also give good agreement with measured XANES.
		Results are improved by a using an unscreened final state for the oxides, whereas a screened final state seems to apply to the intermetallics.
		The overall success of the simulations is partly attributed to the short lifetime of the uranium 2p _3/2 core hole, which greatly reduces the number of MS paths needed, and also shows that our semi-relativistic treatment of scattering is a good approximation.

		Guillermo Bozzolo, Ronald D. Noebe and Frank S. Honecy.
		It is well recognized that ternary alloying additions can have a dramatic impact on the behavior of ordered intermetallic alloys such as nickel aluminides.
		Properties as diverse as yield strength, fracture strength, fracture mode, cyclic oxidation resistance, creep strength, and thermal and electrical diffusivity can change by orders of magnitude when a few percent or less of a ternary element is added.
