BeRh is an intermetallic ceramic compound combining beryllium and rhodium, representing a high-performance material in the refractory intermetallic family. This material is primarily of research and specialized industrial interest due to its combination of low density with high stiffness and thermal stability, making it relevant for extreme-environment applications where conventional ceramics or superalloys may be insufficient. BeRh is notably used or investigated in aerospace propulsion systems, high-temperature structural applications, and specialized catalytic or electronic devices where the unique properties of the Be-Rh system provide advantages over monolithic alternatives.
