Intermetallic compounds are generally brittle and have a high melting point.

Formation of intermetallic compounds also plays a role in this failure mode.

This phase was not pure, but intergrown with various intermetallic compounds.

They are usually based on intermetallic compounds and solid-solution alloys.

Such intermetallic growth, together with thermal cycling, can lead to failure of the bonding wires.

Tin tends rather easily to form hard, brittle intermetallic phases, which are often undesirable.

The intermetallic compounds tend to have poor corrosion resistance.

The compound is an intermetallic component of the AB type.

- Discovery of intermetallic compounds that are ductile at room temperature.

Additional time above liquidus may cause excessive intermetallic growth, which can lead to joint brittleness.

Included in solid state chemistry are metals and their alloys or intermetallic derivatives.

Metals which can form intermetallic compounds by an exothermic reaction are another class of candidate materials.

If the electronegativity difference is too great, the metals will tend to form intermetallic compounds instead of solid solutions.

Formation of brittle intermetallic compounds on the alloy interface can cause joint failure.

Heavy Fermions are intermetallic compounds, containing rare earth or actinide elements.

This intermetallic compound is an A15 phases superconductor.

Can form brittle Cu-Zn intermetallic layers in contact with copper.

Copper and nickel tend to form intermetallic layers during normal soldering profiles.

Note that many intermetallic compounds are often simply called 'alloys', although this is somewhat of a misnomer.

Proper cooling inhibits excess intermetallic formation or thermal shock to the components.

Intermetallic compounds are hard and wear-resistant but brittle.

At a lower content of gold, the material is composed of the intermetallic and an aluminium-rich solid solution phase.

A heat treatment then causes interdiffusion of the metals and formation of the required intermetallic compound.

Metal combinations which form intermetallic compounds do not cause LME.

Magnesium aluminide is an intermetallic compound of magnesium and aluminium.
