CdAg₂Au is a ternary precious metal alloy combining cadmium, silver, and gold. This material belongs to the cadmium-silver-gold alloy family, which is primarily investigated in research contexts for specialized electrical, thermal, or decorative applications where the unique properties of all three constituent metals are leveraged. The alloy is notable for combining the electrical conductivity and workability of silver with gold's corrosion resistance and cadmium's role in modifying phase behavior and mechanical properties, though cadmium's toxicity limits industrial adoption compared to cadmium-free alternatives.
