Alloying is a powerful method by which metallurgical advances have been made. The possibility of multicomponent alloys opens up numerous possibilities. Three important themes solid solutions, quasicrystals and bulk metallic glasses - have emerged in recent years. However, an approach based on Structure Mapping pioneered by David Pettifor indicates that many higher order alloys can be visualized as pseudo-lower order alloys. Solid solutions can be seen to be pseudounary. Crystalline intermetallics are seen to be at the highest level pseudo-quaternary. It is also demonstrated that most quasicrystals and their rational approximants are pseudo-binary and that most metallic glasses are pseudo-ternary.
