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.
