Abstract
An overview is given on intermetallics with respect to the possibilities for the development of new structural materials for high-temperature applications. In the first main section the fundamentals of intermetallics are discussed, i.e. the type and strength of bonding and its correlation with materials properties, in particular with elasticity and diffusion. In the second main section present materials developments are overviewed which are based on titanium aluminides, nickel aluminides and less-common phases. Characteristic data are presented, and the problems and prospects are discussed.
