Ir1Ru1 is an equiatomic intermetallic compound combining iridium and ruthenium, two platinum-group metals known for exceptional hardness and chemical stability. This material is primarily of research and development interest for high-temperature structural applications, catalysis, and wear-resistant coatings where extreme thermal stability and noble metal corrosion resistance are required. While not yet widely commercialized, the iridium-ruthenium system is explored for advanced aerospace and chemical processing environments where conventional superalloys fall short.
