An aluminide is a compound that has aluminium with other elements.[1] Since aluminium is near the nonmetals on the periodic table, it can bond with metals differently from other metals. The properties of an aluminide are between those of a metal alloy and those of an ionic compound.
Examples
- Magnesium aluminide, MgAl
- Titanium aluminide, TiAl
- Iron aluminides, including Fe3Al and FeAl
- Nickel aluminide, Ni3Al
