Be₄Nb₆ is an intermetallic compound composed of beryllium and niobium, belonging to the family of refractory metal intermetallics. This material is primarily of research and development interest rather than established in high-volume production, with potential applications in aerospace and high-temperature structural applications where the combination of beryllium's low density and niobium's refractory properties could offer advantages in extreme environments.
