Be₂CoNi is an intermetallic compound combining beryllium with cobalt and nickel in a 2:1:1 stoichiometry. This material belongs to the class of lightweight intermetallic alloys and is primarily of research interest rather than established commercial production. The beryllium-cobalt-nickel system is explored for potential high-temperature applications where low density combined with intermetallic strengthening could offer advantages, though beryllium's toxicity and processing challenges limit industrial adoption compared to conventional superalloys and titanium-based alternatives.
