Al₁Fe₂W₁ is an intermetallic compound combining aluminum, iron, and tungsten in a 1:2:1 stoichiometric ratio. This ternary intermetallic belongs to the family of refractory and high-temperature materials, though it remains largely in the research phase with limited commercial deployment. The material is of interest for high-temperature structural applications and wear-resistant coatings where the combination of lightweight aluminum, iron's cost-effectiveness, and tungsten's hardness and melting point elevation might offer advantages over conventional binary alloys or pure metals.
