AlAu3
metalAlAu₃ is an intermetallic compound composed of aluminum and gold in a 1:3 atomic ratio, belonging to the family of precious-metal intermetallics. This material is primarily of research and specialized industrial interest rather than a commodity alloy, valued for its unique combination of high density and the inherent properties of gold while maintaining structural definition through the intermetallic phase. Applications are limited but include high-reliability electronics, aerospace thermal management, and dental/medical devices where corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, and density are critical; its use is typically driven by performance requirements that justify the material and manufacturing cost rather than by widespread adoption.
