CdAu is an intermetallic compound combining cadmium and gold, belonging to the class of ordered metallic compounds with defined crystal structures and stoichiometric ratios. This material exhibits intermediate elastic properties and relatively high density, making it relevant for specialized applications where precise mechanical behavior and material stability are required. CdAu is primarily of research and historical interest in materials science, studied for understanding phase behavior in binary alloy systems and as a model compound for intermetallic strengthening mechanisms; industrial applications are limited due to cadmium's toxicity restrictions in many jurisdictions, though the material may appear in legacy aerospace components, specialized bearing materials, or high-precision instrument applications developed before modern environmental regulations.
