Physical Metallurgy and processing of Intermetallic Compounds Daniel W following the Einstein Centennial SymposiumThe attractive physical and mechanical properties of ordered intermetallic alloys have been recognized since early in this century. However, periodic attempts to develop intermetallics for structural applications were unsuc cessful, due in major part to the twin handicaps of inadequate low temper ature ductility or toughness, together with poor elevated temperature creep strength. The discovery, in 1979, by Aoki and Izumi in Japan that small additions
