Bi₄Au is an intermetallic compound in the bismuth-gold binary system, representing a specific stoichiometric phase that combines a brittle bismuth-rich matrix with gold. This material is primarily of research and specialized industrial interest rather than a commodity structural material; it appears in fundamental materials science studies of binary phase diagrams and intermetallic behavior, with potential applications in thermoelectric materials, specialized soldering systems, and gold-bismuth brazing alloys where the phase stability and melting characteristics are exploited.
