(High-temperature ordered intermetallic alloys)
The traveler was invited to tour through and provide technical guidance for the Japan National Project on High-Temperature Ordered Intermetallic Alloys, which was sponsored by MITI, Japan. The traveler stayed in Japan for three weeks and visited a total of nine research institutes and industrial laboratories active in intermetallic research. During the visit, the traveler learned of the recent research and development of two intermetallic model materials--titanium aluminide (TiAl) and niobium aluminide (Nb{sub 3}Al) selected by MITI. The traveler also gave lectures on recent advances in ordered intermetallic alloys with emphases on brittle fracture and ductility improvement. The MITI's project has provided leadership and stimulated interest in intermetallic research and development among Japan industries.
