Fundamentals of Structural Intermetallics Foreword This symposium was held as part of the 2002 TMS Annual Meeting in Seattle, Washington, February 17-21, 2002. The objective of this symposium was to review recent advances in the fundamental understanding of structural intermetallics, including aluminides (Ti-base, Fe-base, Ni-base), refractory–metal silicides (Nb-base, Mo-base, Cr-base), advanced intermetallics, intermetallic composites, and shape-memory intermetallics. Topic areas covered included physical metallurgy, alloy development, mechanical behavior and mechanisms, environmental resistance, melting and ingot production, casting, extrusion, forging and rolling, joining and fabrication, machining, powder metallurgy, and novel processes. More than sixty papers were presented in several oral sessions, which were: (1) Deformation Behavior of Intermetallics, (2) Nb and Mo Based Silicides, (3) Advanced Intermetallics and Oxidations, (4) Environmental Effects and Fe Aluminides, (5) Fatigue and Fracture of TiAl, (6) High Temperature Strength of TiAl, and (7) Strengthening and Microstructures of TiAl. In addition, thirty papers were presented in a poster session. The symposium proceedings are comprised of full-length papers that have been submitted by interested authors. These papers were reviewed and evaluated under the standard Metallurgical and Materials Transactions review process and selection criteria. These papers cover the state-of-the-science on the fundamental understanding of structural intermetallics achieved by experimental studies, analytical/theoretical modeling, as well as by first principles computational methods. The technical breath and depth of the outstanding articles in the proceedings reflect a successful symposium that would not have been possible without the overwhelming support and commitment of the authors and participants, whose enthusiastic efforts we gratefully acknowledge. In closing, we also wish to acknowledge the contributions by the TMS staff in organizing the symposium, the staff at Metallurgical and Materials Transactions in processing and publishing the proceedings, as well as the contributions by the reviewers and Key Readers in reviewing all the papers in the proceedings.
