AlHg is an aluminum-mercury intermetallic compound or amalgam system that forms when mercury contacts aluminum, creating a phase that differs significantly from pure aluminum. This material has limited commercial use today due to mercury's toxicity and environmental concerns, though it remains of academic and historical interest in materials science research, particularly in understanding intermetallic formation and phase behavior in metal-mercury systems.
