CaInAu is an intermetallic compound composed of calcium, indium, and gold—a ternary metallic phase that belongs to the class of rare-earth and precious-metal alloys. This material remains primarily in the research and development phase, studied for its crystallographic properties and potential applications in advanced metallurgy where the combination of noble metal (Au) with reactive (Ca) and semiconductive (In) elements creates unique electronic or structural characteristics. The material is of interest in materials science for exploring new intermetallic phases and their behavior, though industrial adoption remains limited and applications are largely experimental.
