HfAu₄ is an intermetallic compound combining hafnium and gold in a 1:4 atomic ratio, belonging to the family of refractory metal-precious metal intermetallics. This material is primarily of research and development interest rather than established in high-volume engineering applications; it combines hafnium's high melting point and strength with gold's chemical stability and density, making it relevant for extreme-environment and specialty applications where both thermal resistance and corrosion resistance are critical.
