Abstract

Intermetallic alloys (IMs) have received tremendous attention due to their unique ordered superlattice structures and associated attractive properties, such as the high oxidation and corrosion resistance together with their good high-temperature strength. In the past decades, considerable efforts have been devoted to the development of the IMs, and various advanced high-performance cubic ordered IMs with inspiring properties have been designed. Among them, the Ni3(Si, Ti)-type intermetallic compound with a L12 structure exhibits excellent strength-ductility combination over a wide range of temperatures. Such a superior strength-ductility combination is remarkable since serious brittleness at ambient temperature has long been a critical issue for most intermetallic alloys for structural applications. This chapter briefly reviewed the development and recent advance in Ni3(Si, Ti)-type IMs. We were particularly concerned with the approaches against environmental brittleness, macroalloying effect on the microstructures and the tensile properties. The current research challenges and pending problems were also discussed. The directions of future research as well as emerging opportunities were finally highlighted.
