Abstract
RELATIONS have previously been proposed1,2 between hardness and latent heat of fusion, L f, for pure metals. This communication shows that a relation also holds for the series of intermetallic compounds Mg2Si, Mg2Sn and Mg2Pb, and by using the results for these compounds, L f for Mg2Ge is obtained by interpolation.
