These intermetallic compounds, whether present as primary phases or as constituents of eutectic mixtures, can substantially influence an alloy’s strength, ductility and resistance to fracture.

This study explores the application of a nickel ultra-thin buffer layer (Ni UBL) for Au-Sn intermetallic compound (IMC) in the eutectic bonding technique for three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D ...

A novel nuclear fuel concept has been proposed, consisting of UO₂ particles suspended in a liquid metal alloy. To evaluate its feasibility, the compatibility of Zircaloy-4 cladding with candidate ...
