BeIn₄Ir is an experimental intermetallic ceramic compound combining beryllium, indium, and iridium. This material belongs to the family of high-performance intermetallics being investigated for extreme-environment applications where conventional ceramics or superalloys reach their limits. While not yet in widespread commercial production, compounds in this material class are of research interest for their potential combination of thermal stability, hardness, and chemical resistance, particularly in aerospace and high-temperature structural applications where cost and density trade-offs against performance are carefully evaluated.
