HoZrRu2 is an intermetallic compound composed of holmium, zirconium, and ruthenium, representing a research-phase material in the family of ternary refractory intermetallics. This material family is investigated for potential high-temperature structural applications where conventional superalloys reach their limits, though HoZrRu2 remains primarily in experimental study rather than established industrial production. The inclusion of ruthenium—a rare, high-cost element—and the specific composition suggest exploration for aerospace or nuclear applications where thermal stability and corrosion resistance under extreme conditions are critical, though practical adoption depends on overcoming challenges in castability, processability, and cost.
