CdAu₃ is an intermetallic compound combining cadmium and gold in a fixed 1:3 stoichiometric ratio, forming a brittle metallic phase with limited ductility. This material is primarily of research and specialized industrial interest rather than a commodity engineering material; it appears in studies of precious metal alloys, electronic contacts, and thin-film applications where the combination of gold's corrosion resistance and cadmium's electronic properties offers niche advantages, though cadmium's toxicity and regulatory restrictions significantly limit contemporary use.
