I know conventional steel has no molecules, as the type of bond the atoms have is crystalline.
However, since my recent melt result, I have been trying to understand exactly what type of structure/bond intermetallics have.
As I read it, 2 metals form a covalent bond, i.e. molecular. Is that an accurate assumption?
The term "intermetallic" seems to be one of those terms that are thrown around too much also. Like "nano structures", etc.
Kind of hard for a comic book metallurgist to pin it down.
Thanks.
