Ca₂Mg is an intermetallic ceramic compound consisting of calcium and magnesium in a 2:1 stoichiometric ratio. This is a research-phase material within the family of alkaline-earth intermetallics, studied primarily for lightweight structural applications where the combination of low density and ceramic bonding characteristics may offer advantages over conventional metallic alloys or traditional ceramics. Interest in this compound stems from potential use cases requiring materials with reduced weight and thermal stability, though it remains largely in the experimental phase without established industrial production or widespread engineering deployment.
