Intermetallic phases and compounds

Equilibrium conditions for the synthesis of intermetallic phases and compounds are summarized as a function of temperature and composition in the form of phase diagrams. Consequently, in the following subsections, phase relationships for group-IIA-group-IB metal systems are reviewed. Phase diagrams in ref. 1 are used as a baseline work published before this compilation is not specifically referred to, but that reported subsequently is used, as appropriate, to modify or replace these phase diagrams. 

Phase Diagrams, Intermetallic Phases and Compounds 7.3.3.I.2. Magnesium Systems. 

The sole interest in the chemistry of species containing group-IIA-group-IIB element bonds is metallurgical. Tne available data on phase equilibria have been reviewed and a handbook of phase diagrams published . Furthermore, structural data for intermetallic phases and compounds have been critically assessed . ... 

In the following paragraphs an indication will be given of a few (mainly laboratory) methods which can be used in the preparation of intermetallic phases and compounds. Without any claim of being exhaustive, we will discuss a few characteristic manipulations and devices frequently employed in an intermetallic chemistry laboratory. This will also introduce general aspects of the intermetallic reactivity, while underlining some of its peculiarities.
