Be₂RuAu is an intermetallic compound combining beryllium, ruthenium, and gold—a ternary metal system with potential for specialized high-performance applications. This material exists primarily in the research domain rather than established industrial production; it belongs to the family of refractory intermetallics and precious-metal alloys, where the combination of beryllium's light weight and stiffness with ruthenium and gold's corrosion resistance and thermal stability creates interest for extreme-environment or biocompatible applications. Engineers would consider this material in niche contexts where conventional superalloys or titanium alloys fall short—such as oxidation-resistant coatings, catalytic systems, or biomedical implant research—though limited commercial availability and processing challenges restrict its current engineering adoption.
