Hi! I'm Ph.D. student and I have some questions about Complex Metallic Alloys:
What is the difference between intermetallics and alloys?
What's the deffiition of superstructure ?

Intermetallic - chemical compounds between two or more metals with crystal structures which aredifferent from those of the metals it`s made from.
Alloy - compound of 2 or more elements. One at least being a metal, and the resulting material has metallic properties.

Alloy is not a compound, it is a solid solution. It may contain compounds.

Hmm, yeah I should have put maybe:
Alloy - Either a solution or compound of 2 or more elements. One at least being a metal, and the resulting material has metallic properties.

alloy cannot be reffered to a compound; that implies chemical bonds are formed, which are not true.

I agree it's better to think of alloys as solid solutions rather than compounds, though chemical bonds are created as intermetallic compounds form within an alloy.
