Abstract
Intermetallic compounds of ruthenium and tantalum are disclosed comprising about 46 to 53 atomic percent tantalum and the balance substantially ruthenium. Another intermetallic compound is comprised of, about 45 to 54 atomic percent tantalum, up to about 35 atomic percent cobalt, and the balance substantially ruthenium, with ruthenium plus cobalt being less than 55 atomic percent. Another intermetallic compound is comprised of, about 45 to 54 atomic percent tantalum, up to about 25 atomic percent iron, and the balance substantially ruthenium. The intermetallic compounds have a high hardness up to about 950.degree. C. and have good room-temperature toughness.
