The most important task of modern materials science is development of advanced light high-temperature materials. Modern
high-temperature materials based on solid-solution and dispersion strengthening of the metal matrix, cannot fully meet
the requirements made by designers of advanced aerospace products. This task can be solved using advanced high-temperature
materials based on intermetallics. The most attractive for these purposes are intermetallics formed by transition metals
and aluminium, more often called aluminides. US achievements in this field are noted.
