  • The intermetallic compounds are very hard and brittle in nature.
  • They hold properties like strength and ductility.
  • They could withstand at high temperatures.
  • The mechanical properties are equivalent to that of ceramics.
  • They also hold magnetic properties.
  • They are good conductors as well.
