intermetallic alloys [‚in·tər·mə‚tal·ik ′a‚lȯis] (metallurgy) Ordered alloys having a superlattice crystal structure. Unlike conventional alloys, they have a strong chemical arrangement that reduces the mobility of atoms and results in good structural stability, higher melting temperatures, and lower densities. However, most are brittle due to their complex crystal structure, resulting in poor fracture resistance. How to thank TFD for its existence?
