Intermetallics is concerned with all aspects of ordered chemical compounds between two or more metals and
notably with their applications.
On the more fundamental side, the journal covers: the crystal chemistry and bonding theory of
intermetallics;
determination and analysis of phase diagrams; the nature of superlattices, antiphase domains and order-disorder transitions; the geometry
and dynamics of dislocations and related defects in intermetallics; theory and experiments relating to flow stress, work-hardening, fatigue
and creep; reponse of deformed intermetallics to annealing; magnetic and electrical properties of intermetallics; structure and properties
of grain and interphase boundaries; the effect of deviations from stoichiometry on physical and mechanical properties; crystallization
of intermetallics from the melt or amorphous precursors. Papers on methods of characterizing intermetallics will be welcome. All aspects
of phase transformations involving intermetallics will be covered. The principles governing microstructural features of multiphase intermetallic
alloys will also be included, as will experimental and theoretical work on diffusion in intermetallics. Papers on multiphase alloys with
intermetallic second phases are welcome as long as the focus is on the properties and behaviour of the intermetallic phases. Papers on
metal hydrides are also welcome. The study of bulk metallic glasses is a recently developed field which will be covered in all its range
in Intermetallics. So will all aspects, fundamental and applied, of shape-memory alloys.
With regard to applications of
intermetallics, the journal publishes papers on all aspects of processing, including melting, casting, fabrication, sintering and hot-pressing
and self sustaining high-temperature synthesis; the microstructural response of multiphase intermetallic alloys to heat-treatment and
the effect of such treatment on properties; environmental effects on mechanical and magnetic properties and their interpretation and
control; practical applications of all kinds of intermetallics (both structural and functional), and bulk metallic glasses; multiphase
intermetallics alloys for dental use; hard magnetic materials based on intermetallics; superconducting intermetallics.
The journal
also publishes special issues with selected papers from important conferences.
