Intermetallic materials

Mechanistic studies on the formation of ternary oxides by thermal oxidation of the cubic laves phase CaAl2

“…For example, the most commonly used aluminum-based alloys (Al–Cu or Al–Mg–Cu) get their significantly improved mechanical properties, with respect to elemental Al, from the formation of intermetallic precipitations like CuAl 2 ( I 4/ mcm 15 ) or MgCuAl 2 (S-phase, Cmcm 16 ). 1,17–19…”
