Be₁₂W is an intermetallic compound combining beryllium and tungsten, belonging to the family of high-modulus metallic materials studied for structural applications requiring exceptional stiffness and low density. This material is primarily of research and advanced engineering interest rather than high-volume production, valued in aerospace and high-performance applications where the combination of light weight with extremely high elastic moduli offers potential advantages over conventional alloys, particularly in components where deflection must be minimized or where weight savings are critical.
