BeNi₄Ru is an intermetallic compound combining beryllium, nickel, and ruthenium—a research-phase material belonging to the family of high-performance metallic intermetallics. This compound is primarily of scientific and materials research interest rather than a widely commercialized engineering alloy; it represents exploration into ternary metal systems where ruthenium's refractory properties and nickel's engineering familiarity are combined with beryllium's low density to achieve tailored strength-to-weight characteristics. Potential applications lie in aerospace, high-temperature structural components, or specialized catalytic environments where the unique combination of elements offers advantages over binary nickel alloys or conventional superalloys, though maturity and scalability for production remain active research questions.
